Come take a tour of the ISS

Come watch this short half hour video brought to us by the good people, astronauts, on the ISS! See how they sleep, how they go to the bathroom, exercise, and eat! Also, they haven't sat down since they go up there!

That's great, must be weird living in a weightless environment having no sense of direction with no up or down

For some reason I thought Earth would look smaller from the viewport but I guess they're closer than I thought

Watching her explain how to use the toilet turned me off from wanting to be an astronaut lol. Could you imagine your pee floating and having to catch it? I only pray no one ever gets diarrhea.

I highly suggest to you and others ATSers to read a book by Mary Roach, called Packing For Mars. It's full of interesting tidbits about the past manned space missions, including some smelly "emergencies" such as floating poo in the Apollo spacecraft, or such terms from the Shuttle flights as "fecal decapitation" and "fecal popcorning".
