It's probably a little late to ask, but how do the toilets work on the space station?

If a space habitat is 60% plumbing there must be something interesting happening.

Is it cold in here?:
The air handling system is plumbing too. Then, consider an onboard sewage treatment plant. The plumbing adds up fast.

DSL:
Not to mention water supply, critical gases, heat-exchange (heating and cooling), possibly fuel-transfer systems to service visiting spacecraft ... it's all pipes and ducts of one sort or another.

I imagine the poop goes in, then a hatch is closed and the power of space sucks it out and flings it at the earth, where it's reduced to burnt poop molecules
