- What's different about hygiene in space? Former NASA astronaut Mike Massimino breaks down all the differences between using the bathroom, washing your hair, and brushing your teeth on Earth and in space. How do you take showers in space? Do you get a private bathroom on the International Space Station? Can you bring your own toothbrush into space?
Mike Massimino is a former NASA astronaut, senior advisor for space programs at the Intrepid Museum, and professor at Columbia University.

This video single handedly takes all the romance out of the idea of space travel.
What about the urine rainbow?
@@inigocasanovadiaz5927 No sale on the space tour replete with Urine rainbows
@@inigocasanovadiaz5927 That was the most cringy.😫😫i felt like omg why contaminate the space😂😂😓😓i dnt care if i see a rainbow dude yukk😰😰but then i was like u dont have any other choice than to njoy it😂😂
IKR?!
Lmfao!
Never forget that there's crystallized astronaut urine floating through space right now.
Now that's a scary revelation!
They recycle their pee and turn it into CLEAN water
@@zionw1837 On the ISS yes, on the earlier space shuttle flights, no. Which is what Mr. Massimino was talking about.
Wouldnt be surprised if the pee already left orbit and ended up evaporating and becoming part of the atmosphere again.
@@matheusgclassen That is not better.
Love the way he said "THEN YOU CLEAN IT" about the urine funnels. I have a feeling another astronaut wasn't as thorough with the cleaning as he would have liked.
I love this guy. He was definitely the right person for this. Funny delivery for sure. Takes the romance out of real space travel.
"Today's coffee is tomorrow's coffee"
I died
It's been that way for me for years. "Hot, cold, or three days old" I don't care.
R.I.P
Hahahaha same here
This words was like... the best reflection for this moment, June 11
Good
The movies have glamourised space travel in such a way, we never thought of these normal everyday issues.
Movies glamorize absolutely everything war, politics, gang life, love, wealth, thats why its a movie not real life.
There is simulated gravity in those stories. We can have normal things
I did. One of the questions I ask my self is how dies a fat person wipe?
Im more interested how women were dealing with period
i dont know bout u but i do
My dream of traveling in space is over. But, I now have a new appreciation for my bathroom.
A FIRST-RATE COMEDIAN. | His straight-face descriptions of hygienic procedure in outer space are priceless!
“if the sun was shining, it would shine through the urine and it would create a rainbow effect, so that’s kinda cool”
that is a sentence i thought i would NEVER HEAR
Lol this made me hold back my laughter cause my brother was sleeping
I was thinking the same thing haha
That make the rainbow. When it wasn’t raining .🤔🤔
It does the same thing with my pee bottles in my room 🥰🥰🥰
That how rainbow works... hahah sun and a lense, doesnt matter it is
But in space it's different.
3 seconds of awkward silence and staring.
What's that all about
@@Djits4u That's how it's different in space. If he were talking about how it is on Earth, there would be only 1.5 seconds of awkward silence.
@@patfrompeoria7976 lol 😂

"Poop's ok? We're not gonna offend anyone around the planet with this?"
Cynicly this is so funny
Astronauts have one of the most interesting professions.
"But in SPACE, it's different."
*lighting shift*
@Haqqi Abdillah , Dramatic effect?
@Haqqi Abdillah , I liked that though
This guy was my university professor last year. Best class I've ever taken!
Whoa what class?
@@ohthethings Intro to Human Space Flight - Columbia University
@@johanansowahable Oh blimey you're right in the thick of it! Good luck man.
Super cool 😎
He seems really cool! I would love to have him as a professor.
I absolutely love everything about space! This was educational very detailed.
Mr. Massimino is awesome. I appreciate his humor, wit, and candor.
*"Houston, We have a problem... We messed up the toilet"*
😂😅
Lmao
Can’t be any worse than telling your parent as a kid after you’ve tried to unclog it for half an hour
They made Howard cry! Fruit loops!
Lol
1:26 "we're not gonna offend anyone around the planet here?" - only an astronaut would phrase it like *that*.
Docentino only a astronaut can 🤣
haha
Why your that is not in bold?
@@weirdothings8672 the period at perhaps. *see* *see*.
Observant lol
This was very interesting to watch. Most movies and documentary do not show this side of how life is in space. I never knew that these normal things could be a problem up there. Great video!
Really? You didn't even suspect there might be issues with this stuff up there???
So many cool things about this video. Loved how detailed he was
I love that he humble bragged about peeing upside down
There is no upside down in space
If you go in a dark room with no furniture in space, what is down?
r/woooosh
@@dubious6718 Towards the toilet is down in this context
imagine being like:
*guys I messed up the toilet*
Darn it Greg! Alright call the Solar Plumbers again.
NO NO NO NO NO NO😳
Nice. You're dead
Holy cow, I didn't know that guy was a real astronaut when I saw him on BBT.
The things you take for granted on earth. Kudos to these incredible people. I don’t think I can last a week in these conditions let alone six month.
I thought clogging the toilet at a party was bad... Imagine it in space.
Matthew Antis I think I’d rather die
That would definitely top the "Along Came Polly" bathroom scene!
Both of the iss toilets broke a couple months ago
@@ohigedid91xbox9 just eject out of the airlock and your done
I really want to like your comment, but it currently sits at 666 likes and I don't want to alter it.
"This toothbrush is special"
"Why?"
*puts small Velcro patch on it*
"Its a space toothbrush"
Epic
Expensive to fly everything soo
Not funny
Ya that probably costs 10k lol
Hahahaaaaaaaa
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.
Wow)
How wonderful it is. What a wonderful great explanation throughout in space and sharing all these attachments. Thanks.
I am suddenly starting to be really thankful for the earth and it's wonderful gravity .
It's already dead. You can see more and more forest fires in Europe and south america, America west America ,
God holy plan
@@neilgibbons2532 go preach in churces, this is SCIENCE here.
@@yevgeniyaleshchenko849 Jesus love you
well if we were born in space it wouldn't be a problem to us
"You can either be a spitter or a swallower."
No way I could have said that with a straight face.
So true😂
🤣🤣🤣
Well not everyone has a dirty mind
@@CloudBlorb they should! 😋
@@Smaugette why . _.
He was on the big bang theory during Howard’s astronaut episodes! I had no idea he was a real life astronaut! That makes me like the show even more 😂
@6:20; Well, I'm glad you explained it before we had to ask.
"you would take THE APROPPRIATE funnel", "you would CLEAN IT"
It's like he's talking to his crewmates :v
He definitely sounded pissed about this particular process.
Cause SOMEONE probably was using just any funnel and not cleaning it properly 😄

@@Afiriss Found the zoomers.
Shoutout to that nasa employees writing “front” on a diaper with sharpies .
Sometimes it's the little things are the most heroic.
😂
I want that job. Is there a college? 🤣
I appreciate Massimino's blunt talk and I would think these discussions became even more blunt and detailed than most people are capable of enduring. All these things needed to be addressed, simplified and kept to a minimum of space and energy consumption. There has got to be a whole department or field of study just for efficient reclamation, design, procedure writing, etc,...regarding just these issues as they were, are now currently and future approaches. It's why simple technologies such as folding materials is so strenuously studied for solar panel deployment, parachutes, space laundry, waste minimization- ffs. "Apollo bags" Just the evolution of what to do with your excrement in space...
I would have happily shaved myself bald prior to a mission to save myself some of this. I wonder if that is encouraged (and what other measures are encouraged) prior to, during and afterwards. Talking about it kind of makes me wonder how these procedures cut into actual operational time.
Thank you Mike, for numerous reasons.
Very informative. Thanks for sharing.
"In space, space is a problem."
Wise words.
@Mariasol Nevada ...
@Mariasol Nevada A CLOWN 🤡🤡
Have fun staying in the past lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣
@dianna k what you mean is matter. space is still the same. even if it is empty
He's so real for that😂
Too bad he didn't elaborate on the difference about russian and us space tolets and how it sums up difference between their space programs.
The Apollo bags is what the Russians used, the difference was that Russian cut corners. #Chernobyl lol
Was quite looking forward to that.
IN RUSSIAN SPACE PROGRAM, TOILET POOPS YOU!!
Qwerty II lol
This blog post explains the difference between the toilets, but I still don’t know what he was on about other than it being more complicated
www.vandalstop.com/blog/usa-vs-soviet-union-point-usa--n3
I do my laundry the way you did on the space station. I collect it in bags and stick it somewhere
This video will make you appreciate gravity even more.
Next time you meet an astronaut, ask them "spit or swallow?"
Brett_Kendrick when will I ever meet one lol
I'd give you a thumbs up but you already have 69
Why?
AJayAnswersYou Did you watch the video..?
@@grayskindablue I did. Was it in there? If so, where?
If I knew I could make a pee pee rainbow in space I would have tried harder in school :(
jeff goldblum And now look at the shape urine
They need Hubble, because man made rainbows at low space..
they definitely missed that in the recruiting posters right...
Jeff, Loved you in "The Fly"
Hahahaaaaaaaaa
11:49 ''ok now we want you to sit facing dead ahead, and we're gonna move the light, and you don't say nuttin or move or nuttin, and its gonna look all cool when we put the shwoooshy sound effect on, trust me, ya gonna love it''
Lol
The spacewalking and the diaper… absolutely amazing!!! I never knew
I bet that first shower back on earth, unlimited in time and hot water, feels amazing!
I heard that it literally feels like knives because of the gravity lol
Hi Julie I hope my comment didn't sound as a form of privacy invasion your comment tells of a wonderful woman with a beautiful heart which led me to comment I don't normally write in the comment section but I think you deserve this complement. If you don’t mind can we be friends? Thanks God bless you….🌹🌹🌹🌹
pooping in space became my number one fear in life after this video.
Don't you mean your "number 2" fear?
I was already excessive
Intresting, informative and entertaining at the same time, got to admire these astronauts 😊🙃🌎💕
Kudos to get such a information filled video out, much of us star trek fans love this stuff
After watching this, space travel sounds like a freaking nightmare.
Even before watching this, the constant rigorous exercise to desperately try to maintain bone mass and muscle mass sounds like a freaking nightmare.
@@zebanon5 I guess that's actually been debunked they don't have to exercise that much. I just watched another video before this one that was talking about it.
I would make every compromise of luxury and comfort just to be weightless and just let things float.
@@chelseygarrett4221 yeah, Wired covered the topic in this series even, I watched it shortly after making this comment. There was a significant exercise routine, but it didn't sound as bad as I thought. Muscle and bone mass losses still occur, though.
peeing upside down goes brrr
Take a shot everytime he says “but in space, it’s different” and you yourself will end up in space
You will end up seeing the stars
As I read that he said "but in space... "
@@paigebowen2031 same
This was the most informative space video I’ve ever watched
super interesting and well explained!
Imagine being his child or grandchild and hearing about all of these cool stories. He’s a living legend.
Just imagine all the futuristic gizmos they'll have in 100 years and they watch this going..."how did they ever survive in space 100 years ago?" lol!
@@williamyoung9401 Nobody has ever went to 'space' so they won't be doing that. Are you completely blind? I bet you fell for the covid garbage too.
Just imagine being his child or grandchild an calling him and NASA liars
Just him? Or maybe all austronauts are interesting people with interesting life experience?)
@@claricestarling6510 Just imagine your grandchild calling you a conspiracy lover.
“you could either be a spitter or a swallower”
A life lesson for all
Haha, I agree
Can one swallow when it should float? When drinking water it might come out your nose.
Ethan Flores
Yeah, I liked that double entendre.
@@SpitSharp yes, your throat muscles pushes it down when you swallow.
It sounds gross to me. I wonder if they make a toothpaste that's safe to be swallowed on a daily basis. Hmm...
awesome presentation done with class!
It feels good to listen to him!
But in space, it’s different.

Underrated comment right here.

Lmaooo that's an amazing observation
I was looking for this comment right here lmao

I can imagine a sign which reads "If you break the toilet you will be escorted to the airlock"
Dear god

*Chris Hadfield was not the imposter*
I always find it fascinating. Impossible bucket list
a very nice video! thank you so much for sharing!
"poop's okay? Not gonna offend anyone on the planet?"
People get offended easily nowadays unfortunately.
What if they have diahrea? Won't that just come flying out at them?
Troll 'Em All He’s listening to that Fascist Bunker boy, who said they are terrorists
Dan Yxng Ah yes, the wannabe king of racist cowards. Who wouldn't want his wisdom?
People get offended at anything nowadays... it’s dumb
@@Rachie-nj3oi aim correctly.
I would be the one to get diarrhea in space
That be horrific ..lolol
It has happened. AND on the way to the moon, if I recall. Frank Borman came down with "stomach flu" on Apollo 8. Go know that I would remember this after 50 years!
@@davidh9844 Interesting. I get the runs most weeks

Imagine
Great video ! Thanks, Mike.
Ty
For doing this video
I never thought I would hear an astronaut say the words "urine rainbow"
Ikr lmfao 😂😂
“hey sorry i accidentally used your funnel”
Lmaooo
the shared funnel.... NOPE
It’s okay, now I just have two.
hey sorry i accidentally used your funnel ;)
Yuck! 💩
Awesome commentary!!!? Thank you!!
Nice ! he´s the guy who gave Howard Wolowitz the name "Froot Loops" in the "Big Bang Theory 😂
Now i need to re-watch that episode !
Imagine how wonderful an actually shower would feel after a stay in space.
joe suwalski homeboy really just said “a stay in space” 💀
That would be the first thing I would ask for when I got back to earth
"But in space..." -Mike Massimino
Butt
IT'S DIFFERENT
Very enlightening!
This was a real eye opener.
Fun fact: everytime you see a rainbow that's astronaut flushed the toliet
SURREY CROSSING a pot of crystallized urine.
No because while it falls off the atmosphere it burns and evaporate. You got debunked lol 😂
@@aaaaa2264 it meant to be a joke not a true fuckin fact uptard. You got Debunked lol 😂
@@Potsify oh lol 😂
That was causes rain on earth
"Today's coffee is tomorrow's coffee" sounds nice.
I expected something worse like "today's peepee is tomorrow's coffee"
@randomguy8196 true, both mean that water is recycled! :-)
Zer0 Kelvin “todays peepee” lol can you imagine that serious dude saying that that’s so funny
@randomguy8196 The urine is sprayed out into space, so how is that exactly what he's saying?
Zer0 Kelvin happens on earth too! It's called a waste water treatment plant.
Yum yum
great presentation.
As I get older I feel inconvenienced if I have to go to the store when it's cold out. After watching this I know I would not want to go to space for more than a few hours.
This guy's hilarious - just the way he says things makes me feel like he's trolling all of us
he is trolling all of you. and its too easy. but he fools all of you.
Today’s coffee is tomorrow’s coffee.
Yes surely can read his faking face, not only. But all of the astronaut has similar weird and cunning face while doing interviews
Well he made few appearances in the big bang theory, and he was hilarious.
anime scale and giving Howard the nickname Froot Loops
People somehow still manage to have alignment issues while taking a dump on Earth too.
brandon9689 ewwwww, but you are correct
go to any bathroom during a rock concert and you'll see just how true that is.......
Public bathrooms in an Australian servo is the worst
Any kind of public toilet is gross. If you even start to think about the hundreds of things that are on the seat, it's disturbing. Just ew!
SHONUFF i don't know, indians seem pretty terrible for this too. Im starting to think they like finger painting
I'm an aspiring astronaut, and there is a lot of valuable information in this video! Thanks so much for sharing!
So many interesting tidbits about ordinary and necessary actions in space being different!
"Why did u decide to become an astronaut?"
"I wanted to pee upside down"
I'm sure you can find an easier way to do that down here. But that's none of my business.
Just go to Australia
Rather... "I like lying to people".
Considering the lack of gravity, there is no real up or down in space.
I love this comment section. Thank you for making my day. 😁
"The last toilet on Earth" is such an oddly ominous title.
Same thing when I fly so I never have to use those plane lavs
Thanks... very informative.
“We would do a urine dump into space”
That’s why aliens don’t wanna talk to us!
This guy came to my high school this Monday (September 16, 2019). I got a selfie with him and he gave a whole talk about his life and answered questions. He's such a nice guy in real life.
hes a liar and a thief.

In a way I'm kinda glad. Although I could and would deal with all of this, it does make me feel much less awful about not living out my childhood dream of being an astronaut.
@Mariasol Nevada why
AHA! 😂
1970s: "I bet 2020 will be like star wars"
2019: "Yo. Bet you cant pee upside down in space" "Bet."
LMFAO, forty years and not much has changed in terms of toilets. I thought it might be like star trek.
Walter white wdym? You don’t even see toilets on Star Trek! But true, I a, expecting the future to be similar to Star Trek: enterprise in a similar way
2020: "Are we about to die as a species? What do you think: nuclear war, pandemic, or race war?"
Fantastic!! These guys and Gals are moving the science forward!
Great video, the guy explaining is awesome
Oh my god I wonder how it would be getting your period in space
Probably some kind of birth control which inhibits menstruation. Storing pads and/or tampons would be really messy.
Dudes actually can't get it up on space so maybe the menstruation cycle stops too.
Oh don't worry, NASA has you covered. When they sent the first woman to space for 6 days they packed 100 tampons for her and asked "will that be enough"
@@vagueequinox7543 wait, how do you know that

‘Different’ is a weird name.
Anyone heard of the astronaut called fruit loops?
@@Youbeentagged he was responsible for the toilet design before his trip ;)
Very interesting. They thought of everything although the one bathroom for all may have been challenging.
Facinating!! Ty for this knowledge. Ill cherish it always lol!!!
"You don't wanna do that on day one." 😂
"Don't hotdog" XD
No hotshots on mah toilet! XD

The day I don’t want to be an Astronaut anymore.
So many broken dreams
You could be a cameraman or director....
I'm surprised people wanted to be one.
Think about it. We could have had a scenario where they wanted people and no one would apply than right now where its coveted.
Heh being an astrophysicist would be better
Fantastic video loved this 😀👍 chapeau 🎩🌏✨ interesting and entertaining man 👌
