    If any of you are available, the Atemis crew can you your help. They
    have to pee and can't hold it any longer.

    Norm Knight, NASA's director of flight operations, told reporters here
    at the Kennedy Space Center that the malfunction was due to a controller
    issue on the toilet. But NASA confirmed astronauts could still use the
    space commode to poop, just not urinate, though engineers were working
    to restore it to full service.

    "In the meantime they're getting their contingency rCo their backup waste management capabilities specifically for urine," Jordan said. "The fecal collection of the toilet, that specific capability, can still be used
    with the waste management system aboard Orion."

    There's a science fiction author named Jamie McFarlane. It seems
    like his protagonist ends up fixing a spaceship toilet in practically
    every book. It's nice to see his focus on what's important.
