And to make matters worse the Shuttle's waste-water vent is pointed directly at the new Japanese experiment platform (newly mounted on the ISS) so the astronauts can only use the Shuttle's toilet sparingly to avoid filling up the waste-water tank. *whew* That was a long sentence.

I read about this on BBC's ceefax service this morning.
Funny thing is I keep thinking of the outside loo solution as used by Yorkshire Airlines
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VLYpKGVBUg (loo arrives at about 46 secs). This video has been linked to here at least twice before - sorry for that.
I suppose solids would burn up on re-entry :tab:
Just hope no one gets diarrhea in the mean time :fart:

I personally
never tire of watching that video. Funny stuff! Although I still don't get the Alan Bennett joke.

It would probably help if I actually knew who Alan Bennett is/was.
