What do you do when you are in outer space and the toilet is broken?

Question

Its not like you can open the window or do and step outside and go...and dont say hold it. lol

Answer 1

Jeez you have a good internet connection.

I heard somewhere they have bags you can pee into with substances inside which turns it into a gel, lovely to think about but that would solve half the problem.

The other half is more difficult. I'd say maybe fix the toilet. With urgency. :)

Oh, apparently the toilet on a spacecraft is considered a primary system and a priority repair. According to something, whatever the h**l that was.

Answer 2

Ziplock bags.

Answer 3

I think astronauts wear a type of 'nappy' (diaper) when carrying out a space walk so I think they must take plenty of spares to use in the event of a problem with the on-board toilet. I agree that they would treat it as a priority.
