Richard Garriott, video game tycoon and son of NASA’s former astronaut Owen Garriott is ecstatic about his approaching space trip. Garriott paid the astounding sum of $30 million for the space ticket that gave him the opportunity to be a space tourist on a Russian spaceship flying to the International Space Station.

Last time he was interviewed about the up-coming mission, Garriott claimed he wasn’t scared or worried about rough landings, even though many missions before his had entered the atmosphere in the wrong place and crashed. Although everyone survived, both astronauts and space tourists were shaken up and stated they had feared for their lives. Whether it’s pure excitement or a hereditary courage, Garriott isn’t spending his days worrying about the return of a journey he hasn’t embarked upon yet.

But if a bumpy trip doesn’t scare him, could a broken spaceship toilet do the trick? Apparently, the bathroom on the International Space Station is broken again. With just a few days to go, the prospect of the only toilet in hundreds of miles being broken is bound to worry anyone!

The problem of the toilet was tracked to a gas separator, reports FoxNews. It also failed the astronauts in June, when the Russian engineers took a spare separator to the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, where it boarded the Discovery and was shipped to the space laboratory. The mechanism of the toilet involves the usage of fans and airflows as a replacement for the gravitational force present on Earth. Thus, the fans and airflows have the purpose of collecting the solid and liquid disposals. Although momentarily fixed, the toilet can break down anytime. A new one will be installed sometime in November, for which NASA paid the Russians $19 million.
