Good News, Bad News

You might remember the news reports earlier this year about chronic problems with the toilet aboard the International Space Station.

Well, Engadget says that included among the items being delivered to the ISS aboard the shuttle Endeavor, which is scheduled to launch tonight around 8:00 p.m. EST, is a brand-new biffy.

But this is no ordinary terlet…it’s a hi-tech environmentally friendly toilet that will recycle all of the urine it collects and turn it into drinking water for the astronauts on board the station.

And you don’t even wanna know about the “solids”.
