I'm glad they had a backup plan.

'Cause as anyone who's been to Wal-Mart's bathrooms knows, privately funded bathrooms never break down. If the ISS had been privatized, the bathrooms would smell like vanilla in the morning and lilac in the afternoon.

What good is an escape craft that is "permanently attached to the ISS"?

So the crew always knows where it is?

Maybe the problems were caused by the kimchi that Yi So-yeon brought along with her.

Up shit orbit without a toilet. That has to suck. What a shitty situation to be in.
