10 THINGS YOU SHOULDN'T DO IN SPACE Hello folks!
How many aspiring astronauts have stumbled upon this video?
We are here to help you and tell you that you are going to sign up for a life which
will not allow you to do random things that you do on a daily basis on our planet!
Other than going out there without a spacesuit, which is plain stupid, there are some important
things to know that you can’t do in space!
Technically, you could go in space without a spacesuit but just to find that you will
suffocate yourself to death within 25 seconds!
We bring 10 things that won’t be suitable for anyone to do if you plan a vacation to
space!
NUMBER 1.
NO COFFEE?
Water, a major part of preparation of coffee, can’t be boiled the way it is done on earth!
Due to lack of gravity, the water on the upper surface remains cold and all the boiling takes
place at the lower level of the vessel!
So that won’t allow you to do things that require boiling of water!
And for the same reason, preparing coffee might become a little tough for you!
There is another reason you can’t prepare your favorite beverage!
Pouring coffee grounds into boiling water while in microgravity is a recipe for a disaster!
So, as a solution there is a new espresso machine that uses capsules of grounds which
was developed specially for orbiting astronauts!
NUMBER 2.
PERFUMES SHOULD TAKE THE BACKSEAT We all are aware that tasteless taste buds
is a thing in space but what is not so known is the fact that the smelling powers of a
person increases while he is in space!
So, if you use a trashy cologne, avoid it for a while as doing that might result in
your eye turning black!
And not just the trashy one!
Excess multiplication of a good fragrance can also result in a headache and suffocation
due to excess of sweetness!
So, even the best perfumes might result in a torture!
NUMBER 3.
AVOID SNEEZING A small problem on earth, can be a major one
in space!
We know you can’t really avoid sneezing!
And as a matter of fact, physically you can do it!
Nobody said you can’t!
The problem with this involuntary action is that not only your germs would be floating
all over the station, but also you would rapidly fly away in the opposite direction, sort of
like a recoil of a gun!
Ever studied science?
The thing you can do to lessen your pain is to aim well!
Because if you ever do it on the glass of your helmet, then you might end up with a
hazy view which is difficult to clean!
Gesundheit!
NUMBER 4.
SLEEPING CAN’T BE AS EASY Turning and tossing in bed is easy if you
have gravity to hold on to you!
But it is a tricky thing to do when you are above there in sleep!
Astronauts have to tie themselves in a sleeping bag which is attached to the floor, ceiling,
and walls!
So that you don’t fly around when you are in mid-snooze!
So, never mistake the rocket to be your home and don’t think of napping anywhere!
There is a specific place for that specific task!
NUMBER 5.
EATING HABITS If there are so many things to avoid there
must be something to avoid in your meal as well!
So, if you are planning to be one of the army then you should make a list of things that
you will be skipping in your breakfast and dinner!
Let us disappoint you by saying that bread, alcohol, salt and pepper, and soda are not
allowed for you!
As these things might cause discomfort to the most important journey of your life!
So, let them be on the ground while you fly high in the sky and reach stars!
NUMBER 6.
NO SELF CLEANING When we say no self-cleaning, we mean it!
No brushing, no washing hands, no taking of bath!
We know it can turn out to be a smelly station!
So, swallowing a bit of your toothpaste can help you in keeping your mouth fresh!
If we talk about washing hands, astronauts squirt a dollop of soapy water out of the
pouch through a straw; without gravity, the “ball” of water floats in the air!
They trap the weightless liquid with their hands and lather up, then dry off with a towel.
Bathing can be tough, so, for the rescue, astronauts use pre-mixed soapy water and a
washcloth.
It’s quick and efficient, plus requires no running water!
NUMBER 7.
NO REMOVAL OF HAIR Can you tolerate hair spread all over the
floor?
No, right?
So how can astronauts survive with hair flying around them?
For the same reason it is best that you keep your natural growth intact till the time you
land on the surface of earth!
Or you could do it with the help of hair shaver attached to a vacuum that sucks up all the
hair trimmings.
This is the only thing that could help you if you care how you look even in space!
NUMBER 8.
NO CLIPPING OF NAILS Are you excited by the idea of poking someone
in the eye?
Well, if you are go ahead and clip your nails!
That is how you could poke someone in the eye without using your actual fingers!
And to avoid unintentionally poking someone’s eyes out, astronauts have to clip their nails
over a vent so the nail debris is immediately disposed of!
NUMBER 9.
CHANGING THE WAY YOU USE RESTROOM There is a special training for astronauts
on how to use restrooms as you can’t do it the way you do it down here, for obvious
reason!
If you want to shit around and make your lifetime experience the worst one, you can skip on
that training!
Not that it is your wish though!
Coming back to the training program, there are two different bathroom mechanisms, each
designed for a specific bodily function.
When nature calls, astronauts use a specially designed toilet seat, for solid waste and
a liquid waste vacuum tube with different sized funnels for men and women.
NUMBER 10.
LESS PHYSICAL TRAINING Wounds are harder to heal, and the body's
infection-fighting cells don't work as efficiently as they do on Earth.
Also, once you are in space your body muscles are not as efficient they were on earth!
So, to help your body, engage in more physical training as that will help you be active and
have fit muscles!
With no gravity your muscles get weaker, many astronauts are weak to the extent that they
can’t walk after they get back to gravity; many of them have weaker bones because of
prolonged time spent in zero gravity.
Which of these things you find most difficult to do even in gravity?
