Wastewater troubles on the International Space Station
May 28, 2008
The toilet on the International Space Station
has broken down and repair parts are, quite obviously, a long way away. NASA is sending repair parts along on Saturday's planned
Space Shuttle launch, but the whole incident is a slightly-comical reminder that life without
safe and reliable wastewater disposal systems is crude and unpleasant.
You don't have to be on the International Space Station to need replacement pumps in a hurry. For Earth-bound pump needs, our
online store offers hundreds of pumps with quick shipment.
