space:the final frontier.
it must be tough living it up in the international space station. especially when your russian built crapper packs up.
Washington - The International Space Station's lone toilet is broken, leaving the crew with almost nowhere to go. So Nasa may order an in-orbit plumbing-service call when the space shuttle Discovery visits next week.
Until then, the three-man crew will have to make do with a jury-rigged system when they need to urinate.
While one of the crew was using the Russian-made toilet last week, the motor fan stopped working, said Nasa. Since then, the liquid waste-gathering part of the toilet has been working intermittently. Fortunately, the solid waste-collecting part is functioning normally.
Russian officials do not know the cause of the problem and the crew has been unable to fix it. They are now using a bag system
wonder which one they use, after the Hindunaut serves up his dish of freeze dried curry
