You Probably Don’t Want To Know How Astronauts Go To The Bathroom Aboard The International Space Station

Let’s just say the whole process involves a long suction hose that goes near your private bits and a toilet “seat” that looks more like something out of a torture chamber. The best/worst part? After a lengthy recycling process, you get to drink your pee later (and possibly enjoy a hot cup of espresso)!
