If someone forgot to use the last toilet on earth:
Greg: Hey Bob, where's the bathroom?
Bob: Darn it Greg, I told you to go before we entered the shuttle.
Greg: But Bob, I didn't have to go then.
Greg: Hey Houston, we have a problem. Bob needs to use the bathroom.
Houston: didn't you guys go before you got in?
Bob: we did, but Greg didn't.
Huston: of course he didn't -. Tell him to go in his diaper.

I wanna know how women handle their period in space. I can only imagine how uncomfortable and challenging it must be in space due to gravity and limited water. In addition to that u really can-t bathe like u want to. As a woman I can already see that I wouldn-t be cut out to be an astronaut. Lol -

What's funny is now they have come up with toothpaste tablets where it is literally a tablet that you chew up and it becomes toothpaste so essentially they have solved a way to compact them which means they could possibly have more with them

Its easy to see how fake these people are. Just like the left they speak to everyone like theyre children.
Anyone who thinks they have a waste recycling system on board a -space station- the size of 1. 5 jumbo jets is off their rocker.

When he explained that he sucked up the toothpaste and saliva and swallowed it, I think I threw up in my mouth a little. I would rather not have any toothpaste than to try to swallow the foamy muck with my dirty saliva in it.

Fun fact, the tank that holds the urine on the ISS actually was leaking at one time. However, thanks to the extremely cold temperatures in space, the urine froze and sealed the leak.

I really hope that at some point in the far future, the first words spoken on Mars will be -Oh man, this would be so much cooler if I wasn't wearing any diapers-

So what did we learn?
1. Your dignity will vaporize in space just like how blood boils when you spacewalk without a suit.
2. Velcro is the messenger of God.

In spite of all the difficulties and inconveniences, I would love to visit space once in my lifetime, though I know it will never happen.

so you recycle the urine and filter it to be clean enough to drink? a bit gross but fascinating! NASA is on a whole other level of genius
