Astronauts hope the fix will hold.

I’ll just say it. The only reason I never became an astronaut was the fear of flying poo.

When I dreamed of breaching the stratosphere and facing the unknown infinite universe, I also imagined things like pee and poo floating in front of my helmet shield. I mean, where did it go?

My 10-year-old brain couldn’t fathom it. That’s obviously before I knew about vacuum toilets, which scare me more than the spectra of flying excrement ever did.

It works kind of like a toilet on an airplane. What if you get your unit stuck in that damned thing?

According to WFLA, SpaceX has been experiencing real world problems with their onboard plumbing system lately. During a SpaceX launch last month, a tube came unglued from a toilet on the craft, allowing urine to flow onto spectators, which is bad.

Now, the engineering team has to figure out a way to fix the golden shower issue. After the first leak, the tube was welded onto the fitting of the toilet, hopefully solving the problem.

The commander of the flight, NASA astronaut Raja Chari, says he’s confident that the fix will work. That would be totally awesome, considering if it doesn’t, passengers will be resting their feet in pee…sloshing about and being stanky.

This weekend’s launch is kind of a big deal. Humankind will celebrate the 600th person in orbit this weekend, when German astronaut Matthias Maurer rides the SpaceX rocket into the history books (or hard drive) on Saturday.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you the legendary IRON MAIDEN!

Van Halen: Their 30 Best Songs, Ranked

Sean Roberts was conceived in the Corvette Assembly Plant in Bowling Green, Kentucky by two passionate, panel aligning, third shifters who had grown bored with the same ole same ole. Upon birth, he was placed in the trunk of a new Stingray and sent off to find his destiny. That destiny included several stints on radio stations across the United States. Some played punk country gospel, while others focused on Croatian death metal played backwards. After many years and many adventures, Sean wound up on The Shark, where he does shots of tequila while playing the most badass tunes ever created by humankind. He remains humble, however, never forgetting about the lean years...the street corners and dark alleys where he played songs on his car stereo for food and sex. He's on top and he's never gonna stop LIVING THE DREAM!
