Astronauts Have to Return Home in Naps in SpaceX Capsule

The space transportation company SpaceX, which has an important place in Elon Musk’s space race, has recently been on the agenda with the toilet problem in the capsule launched for NASA missions. Astronauts, who have completed their missions on the International Space Station and are preparing to return home, have to make do with ‘adult diapers’ during the journey due to this toilet shortage. Stating that the six-month period in the Station was quite difficult, the astronauts repaired the power units of the Station with spacewalks and hosted the Russian film crew for the first movie shot in space. The team is now preparing to leave their place to new astronauts.

SpaceX is preparing to fill the place of astronauts preparing to leave the Station with its new launch mission, which it postponed until Wednesday. NASA astronaut Megan McArthur, who was among the crew preparing to return home, commented on having to wear diapers during the trip: “Space missions are fraught with many small obstacles. This is a situation that we have to face and overcome, just like the others. That’s why we don’t care too much. ”

The first Chilean peppers were grown in space:

The toilet disaster on the space station did not cause any serious problems for the capsule, except that the astronauts had to wear diapers to return home. Of course, that’s good news for the crew. Another good news is that they became the first Chilean peppers grown in space. The astronauts, who made the first harvest last week, added some chili peppers to their tacos. The team states that this development raises the morale level. McArthur says, “The peppers have a slight bitterness. After eating, there is a burning sensation that continues a little longer. Some of us found it more difficult to bear the pain. ” commented.

The astronauts prepared for the return began their duties at the station on April 23. The life of the capsule they were in was limited to 210 days. NASA plans to bring the team, which completed its 196th mission days last Friday, to Earth as soon as possible without another setback. A crew of one American and two Russians will continue their duties. With the launch on Wednesday, a new crew will start working at the Station.
