Space Station Has Broken Toilet

Here is the article if you want to read it: Broken Toilet

Bottom line of the article: The toilet is broken, the space shuttle Discovery is going to take spare parts up today (they have a scheduled trip, they aren't just sending Roto Rooter via space shuttle)

Anyway, my point in bringing this to your attention is one line in the article that says "The space toilets vent waste matter into space". I am completely grossed out by this. Crap just flying around in the air, or I suppose more accurately, floating around in space? Yuck!

Also, who knew that if they married an astronaut they would also get a plumber?

That is so disgusto. I am totally with you on being grossed out because there is fecal matter floating around in space. You would think the government would have thought of a contraption for the astronauts relieving themselves??
