Russian cosmonauts are whining about the lack of access they're getting to American amenities on the space station. Drink your vodka and shut your pie holes comrades!
A new Cold War appears to be brewing between Russian and U.S. astronauts in outer space - over a loo and an exercise bike.
The tricky issue of who uses whose lavatory on the International Space Station only came to light when a Russian cosmonaut complained he was no longer allowed to use a U.S. toilet and exercise bike.
Gennady Padalka aired his frustrations in an interview with a Russian newspaper before he headed off into space. Before he and his crew blasted off for space last Thursday, Padalka told the Novaya Gazeta newspaper that in the past, they'd all shared food rations out in space which had helped with bonding. However, this was now frowned upon. 'Cosmonauts found something new to eat, and sharing the tasty food improved our mood. Now we are told we should eat only the Russian products.
'They also recommend us to only use national toilets.'
