Why do some ships with beds not come with toilets and showers?
TL;DRSome ships lack toilets and showers because older ships were designed with different considerations or because they're meant for short stays, but without specific examples the speakers can't give a blanket reason.
Ships that were built a long time ago don't have the same considerations put into them as ships built today. Some of them are intentional. If it's a bed, then without an example, it's hard to tell you why or why not it doesn't have it. But for research ships, if it's just got a bed, then it's something we're not wanting you to spend a long time away from base in, because you're not going to have the food and hygiene facilities. The bed's there for essentially the log in, log out. Ones that do have the beds and toilets and showers and the toilet shower combo that everyone loves are there for the extended duration stuff. So where you can go out, land on the planet,
Yeah, it's hard to talk about it in general because, like I said, without specific examples to speak to, like most things in life, things happen for a variety of reasons. This was this way because of these three factors that existed at that time. This happened this way because of those two factors that existed two years later when those developers were on it. So it's hard to give kind of a blanket answer why that is.
It's part of my role as well now, to make sure everything has everything it should do. There's always the human error.
