Should we assume the astronauts are pissed?

 
 
 
I would think toilets would be made redundant...
 
In space no one can hear you laugh.

There have been numerous failures with space flight and the ISS, some small some big.

There will be more problems.

If I remember right when John Glenn was waiting to lift off for a suborbital flight he pissed in his space suit rather than come out and delay.


Those were the days, when men were men who laughed at adversity and hardship!
 
Diapers have been standard issue uniform for astronauts, especially on liftoff, for some time now. I doubt they're all that surprised nor put out.

They're not just for space anymore. Astronauts like to use them for road trips too.

On the Road with Lisa Nowak

In February 2007, U.S. astronaut Lisa Nowak drove from Houston, Texas, to Orlando, Florida, to confront the woman who'd won the affections of an astronaut that Nowak had been involved with. Instead of having the conversation she claimed she'd wanted, Nowak was arrested for attacking the other woman. A story about the space program and an out-of-control love triangle would naturally capture attention, but the reported detail that Nowak wore diapers on her 900-mile drive in order to avoid bathroom breaks transformed the incident into irresistible fodder for tabloids and late-night talk shows alike...

An important lesson in astronaut school: Never eat a milk dud you find floating around in the capsule.

I thought they might jettison poop. But then imagined what it would do to a future mission, getting hit by a turd at around 20,000 mph. If that were to happen, probably best on the sunny side (splat!) rather than when it’s frozen solid, right?
 
Put a sign on the capsule door, 'Please use the restroom before boarding, there are no rest stops. Use mouthwash and deodorant'.

When you hit something it doesn't really matter what it is, just how much it weighs. That's why the world is so upset with Russia right now with their stupid ASAT. They scattered a whole bunch of debris endangering everything in low orbit.
