    My favorite is still the way astronauts have to burp. Because the contents of your stomach are still mostly liquid, and liquids and gasses don't separate in microgravity, you can't burp without some of the chunks coming with, effectively. To combat this, astronaut Jim Newman developed a technique whereby you crouch against a wall and push off, and while you are pushing off, you are making a tiny bit of artificial gravity, so you can safely burp. How is this man not on our money?

    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.

      Dudes actually can't get it up on space so maybe the menstruation cycle stops too.

      What I don't quite understand is why would peeing "upside down" be any different? Doesn't every spacial orientation feel exactly the same up there? Maybe it's just the sensation of being upside down relative to the layout of the room.
