Space Shuttle toilets have always been mounted on the floor, but you would not call them normal. The original shuttle toilet bowl featured a set of 1,200 rpm Waring blender blades positioned a brief 6 inches below the sitter's anatomy. The macerator would pulp the feces and tissue-meaning, if all went well, the paper, not the scrotal, variety-and fling it to the sides of a holding tank.
Space Shuttle toilets are quite distinctive compared to standard toilets, as they are designed specifically for use in a zero-gravity environment. The original design featured a unique system with high-speed blender blades located just below the seat. This innovative mechanism, operating at 1,200 rpm, was intended to handle waste effectively by pulverizing feces and tissue into smaller pieces to manage the challenges of space travel.
The maceration process ensured that waste was processed properly, separating the toilet paper from the other materials. This design was crucial for maintaining sanitation in the confined space of the shuttle, allowing astronauts to have a practical solution for their biological needs despite the unusual conditions of outer space.
