Another day closer to the moon, another toilet problem. The unine/liquid dump pipe froze on the Artemis-II crapsule yesterday. NASA's solution was to barrel roll the Orion capsule, so that the dump port was facing the sun so it could thaw itself.

Back during the Apollo program, NASA put the capsule into a slow "pig roast" roll during the lunar transit phases of their missions to evenly heat the entire command/service module. Has the brain drain at NASA gone so far that none of the current engineers remembered this important thing but some nobody on the Internet like me does?????
