Space Water-loo: $19 mln toilet breaks on ISS

[Kinglevel]

someone had the biggest dump in space

[sniper6081]

Only government could make a toilet cost nineteen million dollars.

[pudsey123]

@sniper6081 gimme £20 and you can have my toilet

[Revolucionario02]

19 million? WTF??

[usastrikefromspace1]

list every member of russia today on their resume it says member of red communist party ussr! so can r.t. report news from a mentally ill dysfunctional childhiid?

[DekriteN09]

"Houston, we've got a problem!.."

lol

[jsee12953]

We have a 19 million dollar shitter just floating around the earth, but we have people being kicked into the streets or already living there, countless endless warfare, widespread starvation, and wholesale slaughter of people daily. Priorities. Are. In. Order. Great success!

[freesk8]

Time to privatize the ISS.

Why should poor people pay for this via their taxes?

[johnsenkenn]

No man have been outside the VAB, not from this civilization. And difinitely not the Americans in 69 - 71. It's a scam.

[BITARTEN]

They are not capable to fly over the atmosphere and they say they want to go to Mars.... hahaha. And when will they "return" to the Moon??. Go on

[rocketshipstud1]

only hardcore space-junkies are going to deal with this one...the crew and sleeping and living quarters should be a shield "hamster wheel in space" that spins...space crew spend 8 hours a day in normal earth gravity exercizeing and sleeping in wheel...rest of station can be zero-g tinker-toy idiot design...

[usastrikefromspace1]

a fitting end to progress-38 it will be all filled up with soiled american space diapers waste then deorbited and burn up on re-entry...progress-38 full of crap coming up...full of crap goning down!

[6americanflagsonmoon]

I blame the idiots who junked the saturn-5 and nova big booster rockets...we could have build a spining space wheel with artificial gravity ...no bone and muscle decay...h20 toilets flush...women get pregnant and have safe space babys! (zero-g tinker toy proton rocket lifted...mir designs suck!)

[6americanflagsonmoon]

its the little things in life that can become huge crisis on a space station...human waste is lethal in tiny living spaces if not gotten rid of properly...astro+cosmo+nauts (spacenauts) can get very sick and die!...germs disease etc...fix it asap /@ wisconsin

[Nitrorus]

Haha, incredible shitting ability! They has broken second toilet for the last 2 years. And this one is russian-made toilet which can resist even nuclear blast, but failed to take so much loads of high quality shit. :-D

[kalu19991]

They did it on purpose so that they can shit in the russian part!

[blackb3ard911]

for $19 mil u can feed alot of poor people who die of hunger rather for shitting in some toilet so that u can research while the poor die ....

[NoNORADon911]

@blackb3ard911 $400 million a day is spent on the 2 ILLEGAL WARS in Afghanistan & Iraq,think how many solar panels we could buy for the USA!

1 Trillion spent so far,that's a lotta solar panels to get away from oil.

The Gov does not give a shit though(no pun intended)

if they will participate in the murder of 3,000 of it's own citizens on 911.

[Nitrorus]

NoNORADon911,

Relax, this is not real money, this is a credit taken in poor countries. Big spendings of Pentagon = good credit story. More military bases over the world (it's over 800 now) means stronger dollar and more countries which can't resist to using it. It is simple, strong US military allows to rob the world, weak military = bankruptcy. Anyway Pentagon spends not real money, but digits in FRS computers plusing this sum to other debts, 1trln of debts more, 1trln less -- who cares?

[legoJmaster]

OH Shi SOME ONE BROKE THE TOILET!!!!!!!!

[graphattic]

Excuses for buttsecks

[pavel280488AA]

@theync1 hahah +100 man

[Hillsillverr]

NASAs technology is wack, they are there to keep us back! They have been in space for how long, over 50 years and they are still doing the same shitt. NASA is just there to hold humanity back from space exploration!

[evildevinity]

wasn't this an episode of The Big Bang Theory?

[YourLordliness]

It's due to fat americans shitting huge loads

[darthmiike]

real floaters

[morbidangelofdeath1]

looks like the us is going to have to invade another country to pay for this costly toilet

[Travass83]

@morbidangelofdeath1 or just invade the russian side hahahahha america powns lol

[ntuttles]

@morbidangelofdeath1 TO Some other middle eastern country where theres *WMDS*

[Wolfboy183]

OWNED

[mephesh]

Taking a dump in space is expensive!

[GravDiga]

So..How many people died by trying to keep it in their bum?

[TheSpliffSmoker]

BS,remember the big bang theory had an episode on this?19 million and it breaks cause they didnt look after it?how many toilets break like that?And now they 'have' to use the russian side.souns like some sort of collaboration is going on to me.

[igorvasilevsky]

Americans always breaking something on space station. Now toilet. But earlier - oxygen system.

Americans are threat even into space.

[RESET1776]

Please, so your going to point out the fact that a toilet made in America was plugged up. Then say how they had to use the Russian side because it was working fine. Well no $hit it was working. How the hell can you plug up a pot sitting next to a hatch to toss it outside?

[SRagy]

@RESET1776 The US toilet was designed by a Russian agency actually. You know, if you'd listened to the broadcast you might have noticed.

[smileythegnome]

Well that's a really shitty story.

Gaw damn SPACE FOOD! 

[navtel]

they should have had them made in japan..

[CRAKIZGOOD]

i find this girl annoying

[ukp42]

american made & it dont work? What are the odds? lol

[Richardcuz420]

this is what you freaks call news worthy? I expect better from you!

[xardas711]

yea I agree... I wanted to hear about Lebron James and Lindsay Lohan.

they are much more news worthy and important

[videochemist]

@Richardcuz420

Turn on your TV and switch to the news channel. Do you see any better stories? Hell no.

And there's fucking people in space for Christ sake. IN SPACE! If an astronaut picks his nose that's more news worthy than the whole of the world cup. We're talking about the pioneers who are paving the way for the future of humanity. No detail is too trivial.
