Question:
On Earth, gravity causes body waste to be pulled down into the potty. In space, what happens to the body waste of astronauts?
Answer:
Urine is collected, recycled and the water extracted is potable, meaning it is drinkable.
According to NASA, feces is collected and ejected from the space craft. No! Poop is not floating around in space. Since most space craft remain within Earth’s atmosphere, solid body waste burns up in Earth’s atmosphere. YEP! Some “shooting stars” are not rocks from space, instead the light comes from astronaut poop as it burn up in Earth’s atmosphere.
