In the summer months, the boeing Starliner vehicle, which brought astronauts to the space station, when there was a malfunction and there was no vehicle to return people from space, the US astronauts have been stranded at the International Space Station for months. So what are these people wearing, how are they washing clothes? Doesn’t his clothes stick to them from sweat and dirt?

The supplies required for the needs of astronauts are carried to the station with the unmanned rockets of Elon Musk. Therefore, NASA is sure that no one is hungry above. However, for months of astronauts living in the station for months, the problem of laundry may be a problem. The use of water is paid attention to the use of water at the station, and moreover, it is not easy to bring water with water and wash with detergent.

Well, NASA, who does not want to waste even the water in the urine, wants to pollute with a chemical that cannot be separated later like a detergent to wash two pieces of laundry? The answer, no.

They have been in space for eight months, there are no clothes to wear

New clothes are sent to the astronauts who have just been in space for eight days but have been in space for eight months. However, of course, astronauts have to wear their clothes until they get dirty enough to stick to them. Under the deadly conditions of space, needs such as “clean and stylish” are considered luxury. When you get up every morning, wearing new clothes, underwear, there is no order of astronauts.

After wearing for weeks or even months, the clothes that are no longer worn are thrown into the garbage capsules of the space station and these capsules are launched to the world. These easy -to -flame capsules entering the atmosphere are quickly burning and disappearing.

Therefore, if you have to go into space one day, we recommend that you do not take your favorite clothes with you. Throwing it in the trash and taking off in the atmosphere, you will not worry about old tattered, tearfast athletes, frost, fanila, shorts, t -shirts …
