Space station loo fixed

NASA avoided a rather messy situation in space on Monday after giving astronauts aboard the International Space Station the green light to use a toilet after crew members worked for a day to repair it.

"The US Destiny lab toilet has been repaired and checked out. The crew has been given a 'go' to use it. All three toilets are working," NASA said in a post to the micro-blogging website Twitter.
