This stinks! SpaceX capsule's leaky toilet is going to leave astronauts without a bathroom and force them to wear 'undergarments' on their return trip from the International Space Station this month
- Engineers first noticed trouble with the toilet design when the all-civilian Resilience capsule returned in September
- Urine had pooled beneath the floor panels after a tube from the toilet came unplugged
- SpaceX engineers fixed the issue in the Resilience but the Endeavour capsule is stationed on the ISS and unable to be repaired
- Astronauts commonly use the undergarments to relieve themselves in spacesuits for launches, landings and spacewalks
