Space Poop II

Forty years after the first manned moon landing, this is the headline we get to read about the space station's latest adventures:

Astronauts deal with flooded toilet in orbit

With 13 people aboard the docked space station and shuttle, it's not exactly a laughing matter. Fortunately, there's the American toilet on the space station plus the one on the shuttle to deal with the load. And "[b]oth the shuttle and station are equipped with other ways for the astronauts to relieve themselves, Smith said, including Apollo-era urine collection bags."

What is funny is that it's the Russian toilet that failed, the one that Pravda crowed about just last month!
