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:
“A set of ideas, a point of view, a frame of reference is in space only an intersection, the state of affairs at some given moment in the consciousness of one man or many men, but in time it has evolving form, virtually organic extension. In time ideas can be thought of as sprouting, growing, maturing, bringing forth seed and dying like plants.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
“When a daughter tries suicide
and the chimney falls down like a drunk
and the dog chews her tail off
and the kitchen blows up its shiny kettle
and the vacuum cleaner swallows its bag
and the toilet washes itself in tears ...”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
