    Facts about this:

    1. Bags, with contents, were left on board the lower descent stages of the lunar modules. They remain on the moon to this day.

    2. There was at least one incident on Apollo 10 where feces escaped and was floating around the cabin.

    Part of the radio transcript:

      Apollo 11 was the first moon landing, so if this transcript is really from Apollo 10 the bags of shit are still in the lunar module, which was jettisoned on the way back to Earth. According to Google it’s in a heliocentric orbit, “drifting aimlessly around the solar system.”

      Even more details: the abbreviations CMP, LMP and CDR in the transcript mean Command Module Pilot (John Young), Lunar Module Pilot (Gene Cernan), and Commander (Tom Stafford), all now deceased. Young and Cernan each returned to walk on the moon in Apollo 16 and 17.

        I am well aware that Apollo 10 did not deliver shitbags to the moon.

        But 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, and 17 did, if they defecated at all on the moon, leave it behind per checklist. There are 96 inventoried bags on the moon, but it is not recorded which, if any, are filled with what. It would have been easier to avoid on the earlier missions, which spent less time on the surface.

        At least one astronaut claims he avoided a bowel movement for the entire mission duration.

    The finger cot is there because zero G and dehydration commonly result in constipation.

      So… they must have trained in using the “finger cot” technique.

      “Sorry Biff, you’re a great mission candidate in all other respects, but your finger-cotting just isn’t… uh… cutting the mustard.”

      Exactly what I came to the comments to find out. Thank you random stranger

        The best part of this feature is that it’s clearly a result of iterative design. So engineers were trying to solve constipation, and someone with a PhD was like “Well, you know what works for me…”

      Actually, it’s in there because shit doesn’t fall off your ass in 0G. It kinda curls out towards the back of left to dodo its own thing.

    Mary roach did a whole segment on this in her book “packing for Mars”. I can highly recommend both the book and Mary as an author in general.
