I'm guessing they haven't opened the hatch yet. Probably wanted to do several rounds of pressure tests inside the cupola.

lol, the toilet is on the "ceiling", next to the hatch. The cupola is outside the hatch. The toilet is a vacuum hose/nozzle thing, so AFAIK, you pull the toilet out, stick it where ti goes, stick your head in the cupola, and do your thing. :D

Here's a good shot of the cupola before it gets mated to Dragon. It's not just a window...

More toilet info...

Looks like someone grabbed a screenshot from a Crew2 broadcast. The toilet is in the ceiling near the crew feet...

Is this ever going to actually launch? The things we learn from this could lead to some very very exciting things. I'm just skeptical that this thing gets off the ground anytime soon.

Scuse me while I whip this out....

Good, I was worried.

Finally got a few photos.

That cupola seems bigger on the inside. lol

After three days on-orbit, Dragon and the Inspiration4 crew – the world’s first all-civilian mission to orbit – will return to Earth on September 18, splashing down at approximately 7:06 p.m. EDT in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Florida.

SpaceX’s webcast for return of Dragon and the Inspiration4 crew will go live about 1 hour before splashdown.

As the torch is slowly passed from government to big business in space exploration I'm curious what people think. Good thing? Bad thing?

I know it's inevitable. It was always an eventuality - just like trains, trucks, or sea vessels. Eventually business would surpass govt. in space as well. But we're here to be living in it at the moment when it's happening.

Live in 8:00

Both have their place. NASA sucks at developing launchers. Let them focus on science.

Godspeed, Resilience. This has been fun. Let's keep it that way.

ROFL @ Chris casually watching Spaceballs.
