The solitary Russian-built toilet inside the station's Zvezda service module began acting up last week, forcing U.S. astronaut Garrett Reisman and his two Russian crewmates to use facilities aboard their docked Soyuz spacecraft before restoring the commode to partial service. Spare parts for the balky space toilet are set to launch aboard NASA's shuttle Discovery on Saturday.

There’s also a moratorium on eggs, beer, pork, oysters, chili, and prune juice until the fix is complete.

I don't know about this. Is it a union job to fix it?
