    Haven’t they done this before?

    Hopefully they have a backup system or a way to heat the pipes.

      They’ve done this many time, and, apparently, didn’t think of it. Per the article, they turned the shuttle to face the sun, so the piss melts.

        Next problem, they have to waste fuel turning the ship to defrost the piss.

        Or they have to turn the ship after peeing to freeze the shit because it stinks.

          I’m not sure they need much fuel anymore, their current trajectory gets them around the moon and back towards earth using just the moon’s gravity.

          They don’t even need to burn fuel to turn the ship. If it has reaction wheels or CMGs they can do it by making a few minor adjustments in the gimbals or reaction wheel speeds.
