Video: Astronaut struggling to cut nails

Life in a weightless state is not simple, because even personal hygiene tasks like nail clippers are complicated. An astronaut has just shared the secret of solving this problem in a clip.

Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield is living on the International Space Station (ISS), where he and other astronauts are forced to think of ways to address the basic needs that people on Earth never need to bother.

'Now if I cut my fingernails here, then the pieces of nails will fly everywhere , ' Hadfield said in the video explaining the weightless state on ISS. 'Nails won't fall to the floor, so they can't be swept. They kept hovering and could hit the eyes, sneaking into people's noses. Not good at all. There must be another way. '

Hadfield's solution is to place its hand close to the intake nozzle, where air is drawn and processed. Thanks to the airflow, the cut off nail is sucked into the dirty screen.

'It's okay now. The fingers are ready to play the guitar. I will clean the air blower later. It is very simple. '

Astronauts also have difficulties in many other daily activities. They have to go through a rather complicated process with the help of pipes and air flow to be able to go to the bathroom in the universe. 6 astronauts are on the ISS together 2 toilets.

Hadfield is a flight engineer, representing the Canadian Space Agency in the 34-man crew group to take turns to ISS. Hadfield is staying with two American astronauts and three Russian astronauts. In March this year, Hadfield will assume a commanding role on ISS, becoming Canada's first space commander on the station.

Earlier, Hadfield captured many beautiful photos of the Earth from the universe. He also composed and sang on it with the guitar, and made friends on Twitter with many famous people such as William Shatner, Captain Kirk's reputation in the movie "Star Trek".
