Moon the moon.

Mooooon TOOOOIIILET!
For one-sixth gravity
I'm using you to pee
Today
Oh, flush potty
Don't be naughty
However I'm goin'
I'm goin' your way

According to the site Tech Crunch, NASA is looking for your help -- yes, you! sitting on the toilet looking at your phone! -- to design a better Moon Toilet: "Specifically, the competition seeks 'innovative designs for fully capable, low-mass toilets that can be used both in space and on the Moon.'" It seems "the agency wants to open this up to outside academics, researchers, designers and engineers because they’re hoping that fresh perspective from outside the aerospace industry can help them see potential solutions that otherwise wouldn’t have occurred to people used to working in the field." They're offering a prize of $35,000 for winning designs.

Well, I think that's just great. A lot of people do their best thinking on the can, and what better place to think about toilet designs? You have to admit that there's been a lot of innovation in the form over the last hundred years, probably due to people thinking hard on one end while giving it their all on the other. The low-flow toilet, for example, is a lot better now than when they were first mandated in 1992. Why? Because the smart minds connected to the smart hinds made a better product. (Still not as good as the old seven-gallon flushers, but there's no substitute for kinetic warfare on some things.)

So here's your chance to make 35 big ones to help our future astronauts drop some big ones of their own on our nearest celestial neighbor.

Meanwhile, if you'd like some inspiration, let Italian astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti give you the grand tour of the ISS can. It's actually pretty interesting and a little gross.
