  You don't stay in a tactical jet for 14 days...

    Nobody stayed in a Mercury capsule for 14 days, although Gordon Cooper's flight (the last and longest Mercury) lasted 34 hours

      Sorry for the misunderstanding, I was referring to the longest Gemini mission.

    I don't seem to find anything resembling washrooms on a mercury capsule, how was that managed during those 34 hours?

      Urine collection tubes - like a condom with a bag attached.
