CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – NASA’s first new space potty in decades — a $23 million titanium toilet better suited for women — is getting a not-so-dry run at the International Space Station before eventually flying to the moon.It’s packed inside a cargo ship set to blast off late Thursday from Wallops Island, Virginia.Barely 100 pounds (45 kilograms) and just 28 inches (71 centimeters) tall, it’s roughly half as big as the two Russian-built toilets at the space station.
It's more camper-size to fit into the NASA Orion capsules that will carry astronauts to the moon in a few years.Station residents will test it out for a few months.
