On July 10th I asked "Who's the best Plumber on the International Space Station?

http://www.mahalo.com/answers/local/whos-the-best-plumber-on-the-international-space-station

On Sunday July 19th the TOILET on the Space Station stopped working!
(ok, yes, I can see the future...lol)
Now they all have to use the Shuttle john. "If the (Station) toilet cannot be repaired within about six days, it could become a more serious matter.."

They actually put an "OUT OF SERVICE" note on the door....
What exactly is wrong and who will fix it?

Coincidence. Lol.

The toilet repair work fell to Belgian Frank De Winne and American Michael Barratt, who had to don goggles, gloves and masks. They ripped apart the compartment, working well into the evening. Mission Control finally instructed them to call it a day and resume the effort Monday morning.

Until the repair is finished, there's always the NASA diaper.
