How do you go to the toilet if i don't have a toilet in space?

In a microgravity environment, using the toilet can be a serious problem. Current toilets use air flow to help solid & liquid wastes go where they're supposed to. This doesn't always work.

Before the shuttle era, going to the bathroom in space meant tubes, and plastic bags. If the current space toilet ever malfunctions, you can bet that there are more bags on the space station to be used in case of emergency.

Why was the space shuttle program so important to the success of the hubble space telescope?

Many reasons. For one, the telescope was started and designed specifically with the space shuttle in mind. It was launched on a space shuttle, and only the space shuttle's ability to carry astronauts and capture satellites with the robotic arm made the correctional repairs possible. Several servicing missions by space shuttles have upgraded and replaced vital parts to extend the telescope's life and keep it in orbit. After the Columbia disaster, the space shuttle and telescope's futures were both in question. If the space shuttle never existed, we wouldn't have the Hubble space telescope either.
