Houston, we have a leak:
SpaceX toilet leak will force NASA astronauts to wear space nappies
Four astronauts could be in for a squelchy ride home due to a leaky toilet onboard SpaceX's Crew Dragon capsule - NASA says they will have to wear special 'undergarments' instead of using the loo

Splashdown could lead to splashback as four astronauts will be forced to wear mess-friendly 'undergarments' on their return journey from the International Space Station, NASA has revealed.
An ongoing problem with the toilet onboard SpaceX's Crew Dragon capsules means that astronauts returning to Earth this month won't be able to use the bathroom until they land.
As a result, they'll be forced to wear something resembling nappies, according to NASA's Commercial Crew Program manager, Steve Stich.
During its last outing, in which four civilians spent three days in orbit, a SpaceX Crew Dragon reportedly sprang a major leak in zero-gravity.
