You obviously haven’t been on the ISS after Mac and Cheese and Cheese night (evil grin)

Surely the American Spirit is still alive and well enough to find a solution to pooping in zero gravity.
Why is there an Earth bathroom with an Earth toilet on the ISS? Let go of Earth ways. You’re in space! You need a space pooper, not an Earthly American toilet.
(What a unique dilemma to ponder...)

Why can’t all the toilets break down in the Whitehouse instead of the space station?Because Obama doesn't need a toilet while he's got the American people to crap on.

I sometimes think we just need to recruit hardier astronauts who can handle a bit of unpleasantness in regard to hygiene.
That was the primary reason why I chose not to become an astronaut.......Any regrets? Nope!

Fascinating. You need to submit that to Uncle John’s Bathroom Reader. But, he may have it already.

They’re trying to tell us they can make this ISS work and they can’t even keep the toilets going?
If I were an astronaut, I’d have serious second thoughts about placing my life in their hands.

I cannot imagine the disaster of waste floating in zero gravity and getting into electronics.

Takes me back to my A-Gang days when the sewage sensors malfed and the CHT didnt get pumped prior to pulling into Tinian.
Things got ugly.

There are a million reasons to explore space, but I’ll share just one, a very important one.
One of the byproducts of space exploration is advances in Earth-based technology. My brother is alive today because of the CAT scan, which was derived from technology used to test heat shields and other vital structures.
No space program, my brother’s brain bleed kills him. It’s worth it just for the offshoots.

Hard to believe nobody's pointed out the unfortunate - or perhaps topical - name of the article writer: Irene Klotz
