L’astronauta dell’ESA Samantha Cristoforetti ci mostra come usare la parte meno affascinante, ma di cui spesso si chiede, della vita sulla Stazione Spaziale Internazionale: il bagno.
Un ventola crea aspirazione per evitare cattivi odori e il galleggiamento dei rifiuti. I rifiuti solidi vengono immagazzinati e caricati sulle navette cargo che bruciano quando il veicolo spaziale lascia la Stazione Spaziale. L’urina dell’astronauta viene riciclata – in acqua potabile.
