"Earlier today, the US Waste and Hygiene Compartment (WHC) was shut down after a malfunction," NASA said. "About six liters of pre-treat flush water is believed to have flowed into the pump separator and into other areas it should not be." The toilet malfunction comes after seven-person crew aboard the space shuttle Endeavour arrived at the space station, bringing the total number of people on the ISS to a record 13. Kylie Clem, a spokesperson for the Johnson Space Center in Houston, told AFP that two crew members were working to fix the toilet system. "They have the spare parts in orbit to fix it," she said. "They are working on it now to hopefully resolve it in the next day or so. It is not an issue, at least in the near term." There are two remaining toilet systems available for the moment -- the second ISS facility and a system aboard the space shuttle Endeavour.[/quote] What ever you do, [highlight]DONT FLUSH THE TOILET[/highlight]. Shit might blow up.
Hahaha, just like The big Bang Theory show.
Wasn't that thing brand new?
Space, in its vastness, ever expanding area, but not a place to shit.
It failed, again? God damn.

Too bad there is no backyard to shit in.
Some fatass probably clogged it up

[QUOTE=fishyfishyfish;16144711][img]Mario Galaxy Picture[/QUOTE] Perfect.
Someone aboard the Endeavour must have been eating White Castle.
Diarrhea in space fuck yeah!
I wonder how it feels like living in a very small area, gravity less with 13 people sharing 1 toilet... for now.
I wonder if the shit doesn't bounce on the toilet and spread all over your ass.
[QUOTE=ZpankR;16145077]I wonder if the shit doesn't bounce on the toilet and spread all over your ass.[/QUOTE] I'm wondering how it flushes. :aaaaa:
I was hoping there would be a story where someone didn't know it was fucked and they took a dump and flushed it and the shit was floating everywhere
[QUOTE=BJK;16145117]I'm wondering how it flushes. :aaaaa:[/QUOTE] Vacuum. Pressurizes the shitting canister, you close it, and then it depressurizes. Or something.
