I dunno why one would want to put the toaster into the dishwasher in any case. Any caked-on grease would still be there. The outside is easy to clean in any case, and the inside doesn't need to be sparkling (it won't be if you eve

I'm sure the boards are fine after that. Wouldn't feel so great about the dishes you put into the dishwasher afterwards. Ain't no getting fine metal dust out of porcelain, and idk what else got washed off of those boards.

Given all that we know, that system shouldn't have flown to the ISS. Sincerely hoping NASA plays it safe this time. A tragedy would have far-reaching consequences for both NASA and the US, well beyond the horrifying loss of life.
