Is that the terms and conditions for using the toilet?
“We reserve all right to enforce arbitration for cases including but not limited to: being sucked into space when you flush, being sucked into space when you use the sink, and any other instances of being sucked into space.

Kubrick was a stickler for detail and worked closely with NASA on the movie, so I think that’s what they thought it would be like on a commercial passenger spacecraft.
my nine-year-old recently wanted to watch this movie so we all watched it and when we got to the toilet instructions, I could not stop from busting out laughing. so funny!

You know it’s not reality because people are reading the manual.
