"Cái ấy" cũng phải bằng vàng mới xứng

-----

NASA’s first new space potty (cái bô của trẻ con) in decades — a $23 million titanium toilet better suited for women (phù hợp hơn với nữ phi hành gia) — is getting a not-so-dry run at the International Space Station before eventually flying to the moon (bay lên mặt trăng).

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 (phi hành gia) to the moon in a few years.

Station residents will test it out for a few months. If the shakedown goes well, the toilet will be open for regular business.

With SpaceX now launching astronauts to the space station and Boeing less than a year from sending up its first crew, more toilets are needed.
