Did the shuttlecraft have a bathroom?
- Thread starter MarsWeeps
- Start date
The bathroom is a little panel on the wall* that you stand in front of and press a button that tells the computer to use the transporter to evacuate your bowel or bladder. Or both.
There is a slight tingle.
* By the 24th century the computer just monitors this automatically and evacuates as necessary.

It must have had only a men's room, otherwise why would Commissioner Hedford have felt so inconvenienced and put-upon?
One toilet, and it's to one side of the viewscreen.

Conveniently enough, the camera carefully avoids one corner of the shuttlecraft during "The Galileo Seven" - the port half of the stern compartment. Plenty of room for a conventional toilet there.
The TNG era shuttles have these solid benches in addition to the swiveling chairs, allowing us to postulate all sorts of functionalities under the bench cushions. Typically, there's even an internal bracing dividing the shuttle into forward and aft halves - a perfect place for a privacy curtain (physical or holographic) in case the 24th century folks feel they need one.
Say, there's apparently a forcefield in place in this VOY "Extreme Risk" scene, between the pilot and the sulking suicidee. Just make that one opaque.

Except my post was about the shuttle, not the Enterprise.
Link isn't working for me.
Don't know how to make it work any better, sorry. And in any case, forcefield partitions wouldn't be a TOS thing.
However, mechanical partitions might. Just remember the plastic curtains of STXI. Or the internal structure of the TAS "Slaver Weapon" shuttle:

...Plenty of potential fold-out features aboard that craft, too.

The site was down for a few hours today but seems to be back in operation according to the webmaster.
Ah, yes. I forgot about the bridge of the shuttlecraft.
Trekcore.com doesn't allow hotlinking, including just clicking on a link.
Cut and paste the URL, then it'll show up.

I love that the main viewscreen is a picture tube. lol
Cathode Ray Tube...
But it's only vaguely shaped like one, so the assumption is invalid in my opinion. CRT's were never completely flat in any part front or back.
As for the head, we've all seen those micro rooms containing a can and wash basin- there's no reason why there couldn't be a version of that shuttle that had one in the aft compartments.
Another reason why we didn't see fat people in Starfleet until Scotty got older.
Actually there are CRT's that are completely flat at the front. Right before LCD's and Plasma TV's hit the market, the last generation of TV's had CRT's with flat fronts. Sony made some...I think Samsung as well.
They werent true flats. they only appeared to be flat.
Appeared to be flat? What is that supposed to mean? I worked on TV's for years and replaced many of the flat screen CRT's.
Besides, the drawing of the viewscreen that you are referring to "appears to be flat" so it meets your requirements for a CRT.
