Loo-nar Mission

This week NASA launched a Loo-nar mission - to fix the toilet on board the International Space Station!

It begs the question why there is only one toilet on the entire station...surely a lack of planning(!) but also the extreme levels of adaptability that the astronauts on-board are required to handle. Plumbing, space research, quantum physics - is there nothing these guys and girls can't do?

NASA has since confirmed that the toilet is now back in action - so again another out of this world experience - a plumbing job that got fixed on time, first time....I guess you get what you pay for...although that has got to be the most expensive call-out charge any plumber has ever made!
