NASA Launching $23 Million Toilet to International Space Station - TMZ

Astronauts will very soon be taking a crap in a toilet that costs a whopping $23 million.

The toilet -- around 28 inches tall -- will be 65% smaller and 40% lighter than the current John on the ISS, but it'll have the capability to support larger crews.

The new toilet also improves the pretreat system that's used to collect and treat urine before it's processed and recycled for reclaimed water.
