Mycatiskai comments on More than half way to the moon, the Artemis II astronauts grappled with a toilet problem

Next problem, they have to waste fuel turning the ship to defrost the piss.

Or they have to turn the ship after peeing to freeze the shit because it stinks.

They don't even need to burn fuel to turn the ship. If it has reaction wheels or CMGs they can do it by making a few minor adjustments in the gimbals or reaction wheel speeds.

I'm not sure they need much fuel anymore, their current trajectory gets them around the moon and back towards earth using just the moon's gravity.

This is from the same sphere of people who want to walk around on Mars.
