SpaceX is resolving toilet spills in its capsules before it launches another crew for NASA

Before launching four more astronauts, SpaceX is solving some toilet problems in its Dragon capsule. The company and NASA want to ensure that any toilet leaks will not affect the capsule launched from the Kennedy Space Center earlier on Sunday or another capsule that has been parked on the International Space Station since April.

SpaceX vice president William Gerstenmaier, who worked for NASA, said that during SpaceX’s first private flight last month, a tube was degummed and urine spilled on the fan and under the floor. He told reporters on Monday night that the same problem was recently discovered in the Dragon spacecraft on the space station.

As a permanent repair, SpaceX welded the urine flushing tube in the company’s latest capsule, which was named Endurance by its U.S.-German crew. NASA has not yet completed its review of the last-minute repair. Raja Chari, NASA astronaut and spacecraft commander, said on Tuesday that he was “completely confident” in the repair work.

He pointed out that SpaceX took swift action on this issue, and hundreds of people are working hard to ensure the safety of the crew. Gerstenmaier said that as for the Dragon capsule in orbit, less urine accumulates under the floor than the capsule that carried a billionaire and three other people during the three-day flight. That’s because the crew led by NASA only lived in the space station for one day before reaching the space station.

Tom signs Nolan’s next

This will mark the first collaboration between Tom and Christopher. While details of his next directorial aren’t known yet, it’s most likely not to have a contemporary setting. It’ll be either set in the past like, his previous film Oppenheimer (2023), or in the future like Interstellar (2014). Matt Damon, who has worked with Christopher in both, has also come on board his next.

Christopher’s next will be co-produced by him and his wife Emma Thomas’ banner Syncopy Inc and Universal Pictures, as the two production houses will team up after the Academy Award-winning blockbuster Oppenheimer last year. Prior to Oppenheimer, Christopher collaborated mostly with Warner Bros before having a fallout post the debacle of Tenet (2020).

Warner Bros then went on to produce Greta Gerwig’s musical satire Barbie, which clashed with Oppenheimer at the box office and even outperformed it globally. Warner Bros offered Christopher a cheque for the fees he waived off for helming Tenet during the pandemic. While Christopher graciously accepted the belated remuneration, he still went on to pitch his next to Warner Bros.

Tom’s busy schedule

Tom didn’t have any release this year. His last outing was Todd Graff’s psychological thriller show The Crowded Room on Apple TV last year. He’ll juggle the filming of Christopher Nolan’s next and Spider-Man 4 in 2025. Tom has been playing the superhero ever since Russo Brothers’ 2016 blockbuster Captain America: Civil War. He’s slipped into the Peter Parker shoes post that for three standalone films and two Avengers movies. Spider-Man 4 will be helmed by Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings director Destin Daniel Cretton.

As Tom’s girlfriend and co-star Zendaya will be busy filming Spider-Man 4 in 2025, she’ll reprise her role of Chani in Denis Villeneuve’s sci-fi spectacle Dune 3 only in 2026. Meanwhile, Tom is also likely to make an appearance as Spider-Man in Russo Brothers’ Avengers: Doomsday, which will go on floors in the spring of 2025.
