QUESTION:
How do you take a bath, brush your teeth, and go to the bathroom in space?
ANSWER
from Linda Conrad on January 9, 1998:
There is no bath or shower on the shuttle, so astronauts just wash off with
wet washcloths, using soaps that you don't have to rinse off. When they brush
their teeth, they can either swallow the toothpaste or spit it into a washcloth.
Designing a toilet for zero-gravity is tougher. The astronauts use air flow
to make the urine or feces go where they want, since gravity will not do it
for them.
