“There's no way you can use water to collect waste in zero gravity. So, basically, our toilet on shuttle operations is a vacuum cleaner. The urinal looks like a Shop-Vac hose. It has different-shaped fronts on it for males and females to use. The urine is sucked down that hose and goes into a tank.” WayLooksDifferentUseWaterFrontsWasteFemaleMalesOperationsShopsZeroGravityToiletsTanksVacuumsCleanersZero Gravity Author:Mike Mullane
“In the space shuttle program, where we had males and females, I can tell you that nobody was doing that [sex] because there's absolutely no privacy. The only privacy would have been in the air lock, but everybody would know what you were doing. You're not out there doing a spacewalk. There's no reason to be in there.” KnowsHas BeensI CanReasonSexSpaceAirFemaleProgramMalesPrivacyNo ReasonLocksDoing YouSpace ShuttleShuttle Program Author:Mike Mullane
