I’d like to learn more about what duties astronauts actually perform on these missions. I assume a lot or even all of it is automated. There’s telemetry back to large teams on the ground who can troubleshoot any issue. What tasks do the people inside the spacecraft do?

This is the best video I could find showing how they managed to fit a bathroom into the Orion capsule

I'm curious how the toilet works on the dragon capsule.
