Of the cosmic toilet arrest

April 12 has gone down in history as the day when a human first flew into space. Yuri Gagarin's smiling face left an indelible mark in the memory of us Soviet children, although later it turned out that those children who wrote "I want to be a cosmonaut when I grow up" on the school walls would lose to the children who wrote "I will be a prosecutor".

In any case, humanity, no matter how big the mistake from the start, has already gone into space. Supposedly, we search for life out there, while down here we can barely manage to get the garbage of life out. While the American astronauts were going these days to look at the far side of the Moon, we "people of Baku and our city's guests" were searching for sewer lines on the invisible side of Baku. Along with our government. It seems that in the end, those lines came out from inside the houses. It was exactly the situation in an old Shaki joke. Someone comes as a guest to Shaki, asks where the toilet is, and the Shaki resident says: "Odey, inside the mouth!"

Joking aside, an unexpected characteristic that connected us with NASA's "Artemis" mission emerged. At some point during the flight, the toilet on the spacecraft... broke down.

Here I digress briefly. The Americans flew to the Moon in the 60s and 70s of the last century, if I'm not mistaken, 11 times, and the toilet comfort on the "Apollo" missions was practically nonexistent. To put it simply, they filled diapers and kept them close, and until the end of the flight, the cabin of the ship, to put it mildly, did not smell good. It was roughly like a village toilet.

However, the current ship was supposedly equipped with a more modern toilet system. It was even planned that excretions would be collected and ejected outside (probably we wouldn't be wrong to write "do it inside space..."). However, at some point during the flight, it became clear that the system wasn't working; someone had built a slum on the line, with official documents from the municipality... I'm joking, the excretions froze, sort of stuck to the ship, refusing to fly away.

If I am not mistaken, even the center on Earth proposed a solution: to rotate the ship at a certain angle, aiming the toilet's outlet towards the Sun, so that its rays would ... melt and soften it. At this time, the excretion (to use the language of the religious, impurities) flew and interfered with the transmitting antennas in that area. (I apologize to the readers for these disgusting details. Now see what hardship the brave ADSEA employees endure. It's a cosmic ordeal, yet their salaries are at the lowest level).

In short, chaos arose not only on Earth but also in space, let's put it politely.

From the "Artemis" flight, as always, we got a bunch of photos and such. The view of the Earth from the far side of the Moon, the Sun over the Moon, the Turkish word, the lingering behind, etc. Some part of humanity loves such romantic-sentimental photos aimed at nose-run-water shedding. They comment that our blue planet has vanished like a point in the universe, has become our only refuge... However, as I wrote above, it is doubtful that our planet is actually blue. I think it’s more brown. Because of the sewage problems. But from space it looked blue.

Such things happen often. For example, recently a bunch of foolish kids vandalized the walls of our "Nizami" cinema center, leaving them in a sad state, as if it was trash day. The government caught the kids and their parents, pulled their ears, fined them, if I’m not mistaken, even gave one of them 30 days detention. This is how the state of our national cinema became abysmally poor...

It didn’t happen as hoped. There is neither anyone making films nor showing them. One of our film critics wrote that we were watching some documentary film at that center, but the projector was so awful and shaky that the image was also terrible. Meaning, instead of fixing the cinema hall’s projector, we care about keeping the walls clean.

Now it’s up to the relevant organizations. Write and let us see when you will fly into space.
