ISS toilet problem

[Brian Ellis]

Wondering what they do with the failed toilet pump on the ISS, a friend of mine wrote:

Twinkle twinkle little star
NASA wonders what you are
Up above the clouds so high
It's just a sh@@@@ pump passing by

They sent out for the rooter man
He couldn't get there in his van
What a come down for NASA - what a bummer
They're using a rocket scientist for a plumber

[Dr Mordrid]

Nice try, but NASA didn't make the ISS's toilet - the Russians did.

Fortunately the Russkies had a spare pump handy & overnighted it to the KSC so it could go up on Discovery tomorrow afternoon.

........ so it could go up on Discovery tomorrow afternoon.

If it launches as scheduled, I’ll miss my chance of seeing it taking off in real life.

I’ll arrive at Orlando Airport 5:20 PM…..
