No doubt it'll be the most expensive plumber's callout in history.

Reminds me of the first job I did as a junior fitter on the Bass Rock lighthouse, fix the toilet pump. Guess the most junior astronaut gets the job.

I doubt NASA can afford anything as expensive as a plumbers callout fee anyway!

Geez .... they spend billions of dollars on the thing the dunnies don't work.

All they need is some plastic bags to pee or poo into which can be disposed off by turfing them out an airlock. Problem solved.

I was just reading that the next shuttle mission will be taking up the required parts for the space station loo.

Hope it's not delayed, there are probably a few desperate lads waiting up there.
