* On the Russian space station Mir the device that recycles the
  crew's waste into the craft's cooling system has broken down and
  all the reserve containers are nearly full.
    - replacement toilets, held up by cash problems in Russia, are
      not due for weeks.
    - US astronaut John Blaha and 2 Russians have been in the
      orbiting space station since September 19th

And this on 11-8-96:
 * Itar-Tass news agency reported the three astronauts on Russia's Mir
  space station will have to stay until February due to lack of
  money to fund delivery of their replacement crew.
