Stuff is really going to hit the fan now.

The irony that, surrounded by all the technology necessary to launch and sustain man outside of the earth’s atmosphere, one of the most difficult feats is taking care of such a basic bodily need, never ceases to amuse me.

Why can’t all the toilets break down in the Whitehouse instead of the space station?

backup commodes on the Russian side of the stationIf the Russian commodes are anything like Ukrainian ones, they'll need to bring money and their own roll of toilet paper.

You hsve no idea how right you are: there’s a “rotary solids separator” in the station toilet.
IT literally is SUPPOSED to hit the fan when operating correctly!!!

If the toilet cannot be repaired within about six days, it could become a more serious matter Paging Captain Obvious.

With a record 13 people aboard the station, the main toilet broke down . . . Oh Sh*t!

“”For right now, having all (shuttle crewmembers) using the shuttle toilet is not going to be an issue,” station flight director Brian Smith said.”
That’s easy for you to say, Mr. ‘flight director’ Smith.

How hard can it be to operate the toilet? Make it like a portable john and when it’s full, just eject the waste into space.

No one can hear you crap in space...
