It is a hassle to be on toilet. How to deal with the waste makes Astronauts headache. , The urine has been recovered and reused into clean drinking water, bath water and eating water, since May 2009. Astronaut Sandra.Magnus said: "This is a horrible thing, but also a very interesting thing. You may ask, 'do you drink the urine?'

Top 7, it is difficult to handle personal hygiene.
Astronauts can’t take a bath commonly in the Zero-gravity environment, which always make them frustrated. It is a common thing to take a bath on earth. The water ejected will flow from the nozzle into the sewers. But in zero gravity conditions, all is changed. In the space station, astronauts use a water gun to take a bath and washing clothes. In addition, they use a special shampoo to keep hair clean. Payette said: "We take a bath and wash our hair as hard as we engage in a camping or expedition as well." In the Cramped living space, in addition to the personal hygiene, who want to spend the full 6-month in the space station?
