Last week the Russian Cosmonaut, Gennady Padalka, made a stink about not being permitted to use the American toilet aboard the International Space Station. See Americans have the best toilets. But this week we have an interesting twist to this political story. AP News from Russia offered quotes of inspiration, cooperation and sharing from Astronaut Michael Fincke, Cosmonaut Yuri Lonchakov and tourist Charles Simonyi.

It sounds like Padalka is a bad seed. Or at least, he spoke out of turn to the press.
