Интересно, на шатле так же "Моча ... перерабатывается в питьевую воду, удаляя из жидкости вредные компоненты"?
Aboard the International Space Station, astronauts Mike Barratt and Frank De Winne will be replacing parts of the U.S. Destiny laboratory’s Waste and Hygiene Compartment, or WHC. The parts likely were contaminated earlier today when the system’s dose pump failed after running for about 15 minutes. The pump introduces the correct amount of chemicals into the system to help separate liquids from solid waste. About six liters of pre-treated water may have flowed into the pump separator and other areas it does not belong, flooding the separator
Нет. Это новая система на МКС. У них есть запас воды, но не для 13 человек на долгое время!
Звучит как не будет проблемы ремонтировать туалет, просто это надо сделать (даже не могу стараться переводить это):
DRAGONSAT DEPLOYED! A pair of student-built picosatellites just launched together from the payload bay of space shuttle Endeavour. Ejection out of a carrier on the starboard sidewall of the bay occurred as Endeavour flew 209 miles over Bolivia.

The Atmospheric Neutral Density Experiment 2 just launched from the right rear corner of space shuttle Endeavour's payload bay while flying 205 miles over Texas. The ANDE 2 project by the Naval Research Laboratory features two nearly perfect spherical micro-satellites 19 inches in diameter and packed with instrumentation. Although both are the same physical size, they have different masses. The lighter satellite is called Pollux and the heavier one is Castor. They'll probe the density and composition of the upper atmosphere to improve orbit determination. A second objective is serving as a test object for radar and optical sensors in the U.S. Space Surveillance Network. Shortly after ejecting from the payload bay, the canister separated in half and the two spheres emerged in a beautiful scene captured by cameras on the shuttle with the Earth as backdrop. Today's deployment follows an earlier ANDE test flight in December 2006 in which only one of the spheres came out of the canister after launch.
Members of the government panel reviewing NASA’s human spaceflight program said Tuesday that the life of the International Space Station should be extended past its planned demise in 2016.
