sounds like a case of the runs is all that's happened
still, a crappy situation

Wonder who it was?
Could've been any of them:

1. Boomer past his prime
2. DEI female hire
3. Goofy Russian cosmonaut
4. Old Japanese guy


Front row, from left: Pilot Mike Fincke and Commander Zena Cardman. Back from left: Mission Specialists Oleg Platonov and Kimiya Yui of the Japanese space agency JAXA

If you've been in outer space for 6 months I would think Zena (bottom right) might become an OT10.

That's a long way for a 911 call. The response time is going to suck.

I took my sons with our scouting troop to the space and rocket center in Huntsville this past weekend. One of the presentations there was about living aboard the ISS, from exercise equipment, food, water treatment, all the way to the space toilet and how all that works. Kind of neat to learn about, but also a little disturbing. It is a tiny little toilet seat with an opening 5-6 inches across, so they train them to "lock in" over the hole. Inside is a plastic bag, and if there is an especially large BM, they have a metal stick to poke it down into the bag before sealing it up. Liquids, there is a vacuum hose with a cone shaped nozzle at the end. I'd imaging trying to capture a loose liquid stool in near zero gravity would not be a pleasant experience.

How big’s the bag? I take huge shits so I’d be fighting with that thing like Captain Jack Sparrow
