Or maybe, stops hitting the fan. Pretty technically advanced for me.
Four words you don’t want to hear in space:“The toilet is broken.”
The crew aboard the International Space Station is working on a problem with the system for collecting solid and liquid waste, which is a trickier proposition without gravity than it is on the Earth. Space toilets use jets of fan-propelled air to guide waste into the proper container.
A NASA status report noted that last week, while using the toilet system in the Russian-built service module, “the crew heard a loud noise and the fan stopped working.” The solid waste collector is functioning properly, but the system for collecting liquid waste was not. — NY Times
Can’t exactly use a tree, either. This might be a job for a whole golf bag full of Uroclubs. Wonder if they packed any? Just in time for Father’s Day, too.
Houston, we have a problem. Yep, we have our hands full with this one.
Obalesque 
Must be tempting in zero-gravity to lie face down and shit straight up, you think? And then get out of there.
All suited up and nowhere to…go.
Wonder if “loud noise” is a nice way of saying “fart.” Some astronaut cuts what turns into a $20 million fart, blowing out (!) the record of the $6,000 monkey wrench.
Well. That’s what they invented Ziplock bags for.
Ugh . . . I just had a visual
That’s all high tech.
Remember the problem of the pen to be used in space, the Russkies solved it with a pencil.
Well, this one of “liquid” waste has been solved by drunkards everywhere: you pee in a bottle. For female astronauts it becomes trickier, though.
As per solids, well, the crap keeps on hitting fan, and getting directed properly. For now!
No word if the Space Shuttle took a replacement toilet over there and a Super Mario the space plumber.
Bring me the bottle, Charlie Bravo. I’ll empty it first. As for filling it, maybe the lady astronauts will help me.
