No toilet for returning SpaceX crew; stuck using diapers

“Houston, We’ve Had a Problem”

Well, that’s uhhh…gross.

As long as the toilet is the only thing that malfunctions ....................

Better not eat any of those chilies before getting into the capsule !

Really, some people have to wear them every day.

Yes, this is true and I understand, but I don't.

“Musk, We’ve Had a Problem”

Eating spicy peppers and using a diaper is not a good combination.

Peppers are especially rich in antioxidant vitamins including vitamins C, E, K and beta-carotene. They retain a lot of water yet act as a diuretic hence, the need for diapers when toilets aren’t working. (The Americans drink the reprocessed urine as water but the Russians refused.) The station processes 6000 extra liters of water a year so the excess goes to hydroponic gardening and the while cycle starts again. - Cheers!

Imagine having some too hot peppers burning their way through your gut, and just before they make a flaming exit, finding out that sorry, the toilet's broken, you're going to have to get through it in diapers.

Ouch

Ah yes, that puts a beautiful spin on that smiling picture.

Who was the smart one to include Granny and Grampy wipes? Used to carry extras on trips through China in the early 80's.

Ground Control to Major Tom

Take your protein pill and put your diaper on

“Here am I floating in my stink can”

“Planet earth is through

and theres nothing I can do”

I thought it was a serious mission, but actually theyre just going through the motions.

On the culinary side, the astronauts grew the first chile peppers in space — “a nice moral boost,” according to McArthur.

I think McArthur meant morale boost.
