A few days ago, NASA broke the news that the space station’s lone toilet is out of order. Until the space shuttle Discovery arrives with its high-tech plumbing equipment, the astronauts will have to make do with a jury-rigged plumbing system.

Okay. First of all, I have to question what kind of sane person would willing agree to live on the space station for a long period of time – much less WANT to live on the space station. I admit that living in zero-gravity would be a pretty cool experience. But, living in the space station would also be extremely dangerous. I have no doubt that you can’t help but be claustrophobic on the space station – and there would be NO modesty whatsoever! I just don’t think I could handle that!

But, maybe it’s just me…
