The international space station’s Russian-made space toilet has been broke down since last week.  CNN picks up the story here:

Fortunately, the solid waste collecting part is functioning normally.

Russian officials don’t know the cause of the problem, and the crew has been unable to fix it.

The crew has used the toilet on the Soyuz return capsule, but it has a limited capacity. They now are using a backup bag-like collection system that can be connected to the broken toilet, according to NASA public affairs officials.

I would have thought when you build something as complex as the International Space Station you would do the followling:

A.  Make sure to install two Space Toliets.

B.  If there is to be only one Space Toilet make sure it’s not Russian.

Shitter’s Full.
