In an LOL moment, apparently the toilet on the crewed module has been playing up all day. They keep calling in begging to use the toilet. To be clear here, this is not a mission threatening issue, as the shuttles are also equipped with adult nappies for space walks and such, plus they have been cycling the toilet system meaning it starts working again. Just given the duration of the mission... i would not want to be the one doing the space suit laundry when they get back.

Sounds like they didn't reach for the diapers this time... or maybe "NASA flight-approved bag" is a euphemism.... The whole article is full of bathroom puns and references the infamous Apollo 10 turd incident, worth a quick readThe fix came roughly six hours into the flight — a period during which at least one astronaut had to resort to peeing in a (NASA flight-approved) bag.
