      Good question! Wouldn’t it be awful if astronauts didn’t actually have one…luckily NASA and the likes have provided for their employees with this wonderfully luxurious thing

      Is that a hoover you ask? Well…sort of. The astronaut toilet has a suction device which collects waste and makes sure it doesn’t end up floating around the cabin of the space craft…because well, that wouldn’t end very nicely for the poor astronauts.
