Wait...You don't all also have this setup?

How else is anyone supposed to know how things are going while they're going?

This is exactly how NASA built the Space Shuttle Toilet Simulator.

That was necessary because for that toilet if you were misaligned, things could go very wrong. I don't know if the newer toilets require the same training.

Astronauts have one of the weirdest jobs. How many prestigious jobs require you to watch a video of your own asshole?
