A back page news story today stated that the Space Station's ONLY toilet is out of order ! I don't know about you, but I think that is front page news! Especially if you are one of the astronauts who spends weeks at a time in that small space.
So, what do you do? I think Bud's Plumbing and Heating would charge a fortune for an in-orbit service call. And then, what if they got out there and had to order a part? That would likely entail another expensive in-orbit service call. And I don't know about Bud's but I would think most local plumbing contractors wouldn't know exactly how to repair a space station toilet.
I don't have a good visual of the whole situation. I have seen how things just float around in those space ships and there are some things you just don't want floating around you on a regular basis.
My advice to the crew - don't eat anything and don't drink beer!
