Popping out for a pee

US space superloo claps out

NASA's deluxe International Space Station toilet clapped out yesterday, meaning the 13 astronauts currently aboard the orbiting outpost will temporarily have to share the Russian "Waste Management System" and space shuttle Endeavour's facilities.

The Americans were adopting an increasingly isolationist stance towards their facilities, and was unwilling to allow cosmonauts to relieve themselves in its new loo.

He did, though, insist that cosmonauts would ignore the squabble "no matter what officials decide". In the circumstances, this is good news for NASA crew.

Can't they just nip outside and wee into space? As long as they got back inside before the wee had completed an orbit and spashed the back of their space-trousers, they should be OK.

If they weed into space, would it turn into yellow ice or vaporize into a monomolecular mist?

And would poo freeze or boil?

This research MUST have been done.
