The master bathroom for three astronauts aboard the International Space Station is on the fritz again just days before a trio of new spaceflyers are due to launch toward the orbiting lab.NASA has paid $19 million for a second Russian-built space toilet, which will be delivered with other supplies in November. http://news.yahoo.com/s/space/20081010/sc_space/spacestationtoiletbreaksagain;_ylt=Av_7ujZvdyxg7aZbWKizWsEPLBIF makes waiting to use the bathroom a little less aggravating doesn't it?

That's more than most ppl pay for an entire house. I think it's insane. If these ppl had to pay for it out of their own pockets you can bet they'd be visiting Lowe's looking for a deal. [b]~~AT PEACE WITHIN~~ **STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS**[/b]

Hey, I got an Idea. If they have to pay that much why don't they just buy up Lowe's and save! If they own the entire Lowe's franchise, then they will have everything they need and make money from other people who buy there. What do you think? Would it help to put some of the $19 million back, if they just buy it all? I think that or just flush it out the escape hatch, it is no different then throwing a dirty diaper out the car window at night on a highway or leaving them in the Wal-Mart parking lot! LOL **Peace and Love get's you through everything in Life**

I say, "Save the $19 million and get some zip lock baggies. A large cooler and some soda bottles. Use those and keep them until you can either bring them home to be destroyed or use them as weapons against bad space monsters. LOL Just kidding! Why can't they just flush it out like they do with the planes? Hey, is that a comet? Nope, that is what Volkov had for dinner last night! LOL Sorry, it just amazes me that we are so smart we can go into outer space but, yet some days we just can't get our S*&% right! LOL!!!! **Peace and Love get's you through everything, but laughter goes a long way** Even some time's it take's you to the toilet! LOL

Wow and I thought that Joyce Meyers almost $25,000 for her gold toilet was way to expensive. Yeah I would say so. Wouldn't it be easier to stay on the ground and use it?

$19 million for a toilet? That seems a little outrageous even if it is going into space.

Well, I think that includes shipping costs and it costs a lot to get anything in orbit. :)
