According to a Twitter announcement by Steve Stich , the four astronauts aboard SpaceX's Dragon capsule will have to work using diapers, as a malfunction in the ship's toilet prevents them from using it.
SpaceX discovered the problem last month while performing checks on another Dragon capsule. It found that a tube used to channel urine into a storage tank could come loose, causing urine to leak onto the floor of the capsule. It's a problem that has affected all three of the company's spacecraft.
The capsule now houses NASA astronauts Shane Kimbrough and Megan McArthur, the French Space Agency's Frenchman Thomas Pesquet and Japan's Akihiko Hoshide. It is unknown how long it will take to wear diapers or if you want special underwear, as they are called in SpaceX. Equally curious is that the capsule carries diapers with it, like plan-B !!
