The things you do every day will become very 'weird' when you are in the universe
When you live on, everything, from crying to lighters or even toilets is completely new, unlike when you're on Earth.
In the micro-gravity environment (gravity is annihilated to the smallest level), we will have to get used to special ways of living.

Humans have been entering the era of conquest of space. However, human knowledge is still limited to be able to face endless space every day. When you live on the Space Space Station (ISS), everything, from crying to lighters, has to 'rehearse from scratch'.
So, what can you do and can't do in space? Thanks to astronauts, we have a closer look at everyday life in this micro-gravity environment.
1. Crying
It is hard to believe that astronauts have time for moving novels like Nicholas Spark or watching 'Marley and Me' , but sometimes they get 'dust into their eyes' , just like us. I thought it was just a tear, but it didn't seem to be okay in a micro-gravity environment.
Astronauts can still shed tears as usual, but tears will only rest in their eyes. Astronaut Andrew Feustel tells the experience of accidentally getting a debris from a dewdrop device (on the glass of an astronaut's helmet) that falls into the eye when he is on a space trip.
So Feutstel used a device called 'Valsalva' to suck water and sweep the debris out of the eye . 'Valsalva' is actually a sponge used to absorb water in a helmet, intended to be used when suddenly changing the pressure in the helmet (which will cause water to trap on the glass, obstructing the real astronaut. current task).
The Chris Hadfield astronaut is in the video above, clearly illustrating that water will only lie on the eyes and gather together. He also stressed that "your eyes will surely cry on space, but the biggest difference is that the rule will not fall."
2. Lighters
What will fire look like in the air? Is there any difference compared to on Earth? The answer is very different and very interesting. What makes that special is the lack of gravity. Gas molecules outside the distribution space spread around are the cause of fire completely different.
On Earth, fire burns vertically, forming a flame; In contrast, the fire outside space burns into a sphere, like a 'fire ball'. Moreover, according to video DNews, astronauts discover an unexplainable phenomenon that 'burning still takes place but does not create fire', and that discovery makes scientists excited because it benefits if it can be replicated and applied on Earth.
3. Go to the bathroom
There is a fact that everyone has to deal with 'sadness' , even as an astronaut. After hearing the story of the astronaut's astronaut at ISS, we should be grateful that we can sit still on the toilet.
Once again, gravity is our friend. For astronauts to be able to 'solve' , they are forced to tie themselves into what is called a 'space toilet' . To 'go light' , both men and women can 'solve' the standing posture, thanks to the funnel and duct system.
When 'going heavy', the 'space toilet' will use gas to suck all the waste into a hole and lead to the storage area to dry it and get rid of it after a while. NASA astronaut Peggy Whitson said: "Going" heavy "will . be quite challenging, because it's like you're trying to target a rather small target.

4. 'Doing it'
'Doing it' in a gravity-free place, are you sure you will find a private room on the ISS? Although there are many speculations, there has not been any official confirmation about whether or not astronauts have sex in space.
The rumors may not be right, because in the working environment in the universe, this will certainly be difficult and unhappy. Although theoretically possible, it will certainly take a lot of effort to support everything going smoothly. In the following video, sex expert Laci Green will explain what happens if sex is outside. space.
5. Pregnancy
Recently, SpaceLife Origin, based in North Brabant, Netherlands, has announced its bold plans, with the goal of creating the first baby in the universe. cylindrical in 2024. However, is this plan feasible?
On April 12, 2018, the US Space Agency (NASA) sent some samples of human sperm and crawled to the International Space Station (ISS) to study whether sperm can fertilize in the state. Non-gravity or not.
Given the current conditions, the chance for successful fertilization is quite low. Radiation is the main cause of the problem. On the space station (and in outer space in general), radiation is several times stronger than on Earth, certainly not a healthy place to get pregnant. So, up to now, space pregnancy is not a viable option.
Above are things you can and cannot do in space. The more journeys into space, our astronauts will encounter numerous new challenges. We, earth inhabitants should feel blessed, by one thing: gravity really helps keep us peaceful on Earth.
