ESA astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti shows how to use the most unglamorous but often asked-about part of living on the International Space Station: the toilet.

A fan creates suction to avoid smells and floating waste. Solid waste is stored and put in cargo ferries to burn up when the spacecraft leaves the Space Station. The astronaut urine is recycled – into drinking water.

  3. They need to start showing us how it’s really done—raw and live—for educational purposes. The ISS should install cameras on there and turn into a reality tv show. I think people would learn more about space that way.
