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?

All of them. The asshole is just called "CEO"

I assumed the comment you replied to was a joke. They really had to do that? That is weird.

Oh they really did. Except because it was the 90s it was real analog closed circuit television, and nothing was wireless.

It was the one piece of NASA training that you just graded yourself on.
