NASA Installs $19 Million Toilet on the ISS

NASA has agreed to buy a Russian space toilet for $19 million US that filters urine into drinkable water.

The new toilet will go on the International Space Station, which currently has only one toilet for a crew of three. The crew will expand to six members in 2009, and space bosses don't want astronauts lining up when they have to go.
