Is there a separate tank for solid excrement? Are we missing an opportunity for a shit stream?

How is that even released from ISS?



Yes, the solid matter goes into waste containers that are burned up on re-entry of the supply craft. Unfortunately there doesn’t seem to be a reading for the solid waste containers.

It makes wishing on a falling star less romantic, though, when you realise you could be wishing on flaming astronaut poop.
