Ever wonder how zero-G plumbing actually works? On the ISS, astronauts rely on a high-tech suction nozzle for liquids and a specialized containment system for solids to keep things moving in orbit. #space #NASA
"Living in space, of course, is the bathroom. So let's take a look at that little piece of work. Come on in. And of course, it serves for two functions. Number two, right here, I'll show you. But you see it's pretty small. So you have to have pretty good aim. And you'd be ready to make sure things get let go the right direction. And it smells a little bit, so I'm closing it up. And that's, of course, for number two. And this guy right here is for number one. So there's sort of two slightly separate functions. But you can do a little essentially both by hanging on right here and doing number one and number two. I might add it's color-coded, so you really don't get it mixed up, which is nice. This is yellow for number one."
