Hey, does anyone know what was on the space station? I read they found some black gunk on it. Maybe it was astronaut poopie that orbited the earth until it landed on the station. :)

Hum,
Could be an oil spill.
(Or an alien microbial colony)

The cosmonauts usually put all the stations waste into the empty progress supply ships , and burn them up during re-entry; otherwise `astronaut poopie` would take on the characteristics of a 747 landing on the roof.
