The toilet pump went out but “mission specialist Christina Koch turned space plumber” worked with Houston to repair it! I’m reading a Pantone 7698C on that big shielded button.

Crowdsourced the design in a Freelancer competition… I hope that 8yo is getting a cut or at least an internship!

This one is interesting to my line of work. It’s called the Flywheel and it’s used by the crew, 30 min a day each, to get cardio and strength exercise. Weighs 30lbs and is mounted by the hatch, and works similar to an ergometer (aka rowing machine).
