Space Toilet
Whilst in space, the two crew members tested a new piece of Chinese space technology – an 'excrement collecting facility' or space toilet. The previous manned mission, Shenzhou 5, did not have this facility. Curiously, news reports during the next manned Chinese mission, Shenzhou 7, said that Shenzhou 7 was the first Chinese manned mission to have a space toilet.

Famous quotes containing the words space and/or toilet:
“But alas! I never could keep a promise. I do not blame myself for this weakness, because the fault must lie in my physical organization. It is likely that such a very liberal amount of space was given to the organ which enables me to make promises, that the organ which should enable me to keep them was crowded out. But I grieve not. I like no half-way things. I had rather have one faculty nobly developed than two faculties of mere ordinary capacity.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“The authentic! I said
rising from the toilet seat.”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
