It seems we have a crisis in orbit right now :eek

Dodgy space loo could pull chain on mission (http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=080603101810.ppmx1lpm&show_article=1)

You mean, they have this huge 0 gravity sewer system orbiting earth, keeping stuff circulating for years, and they can't even flush it out? Preposterous!

"They'd be crazy to follow us, wouldn't they?"

I love how they are having to use the backup toilet, and then to fix the facilities they have SEVEN more astronauts. Imagine the strain they're putting on the back up system!! :eek
