Do astronauts get hazard pay?

How do female astronauts pee in space?

To use it, astronauts sit around the hole just as we would on Earth, poop, wipe themselves and then put the wipe inside the hole. The same suction system that uses airflow to keep urine from flying out of the funnel also works to keep all of the “deposits” inside the toilet.

How do female astronauts menstruate in space?

Studies have shown that women can have periods as normally in space as they do on Earth. What’s more, menstrual blood flow isn’t actually affected by the weightlessness we experience in space, so it doesn’t float back in – the body knows it needs to get rid of it.

Do female astronauts wear bras in space?

According to this Salon article[1], yes they do. They don’t need the support, but the bra keeps their wobbly bits in place while floating around in microgravity. They also like having an extra layer between said bits and the cameras all over the space station.

Why do you not see stars in space?

In space, or on the moon, there’s no atmosphere to spread the light around, and the sky will appear black at midday – but that doesn’t mean it’s not just as bright. Even in space, stars are relatively dim, and simply don’t produce enough light to show up in photos set for bright sunlight.

Why do stars twinkle?

As light from a star races through our atmosphere, it bounces and bumps through the different layers, bending the light before you see it. Since the hot and cold layers of air keep moving, the bending of the light changes too, which causes the star’s appearance to wobble or twinkle.

Can you see stars in space during the day?

Stars can be seen in the daytime sky, but this is a bit of a cheat. Stars, along with the brighter planets already mentioned, can be seen with the unaided human eye in a daytime sky (that is, when the sun is above the horizon) normally only during a total solar eclipse.

Does life exist on the moon?

The moon may have more water and oxygen than Earth and an oxygen exosphere. Thought to have a subsurface liquid water ocean due to tidal heating or geothermal activity. Free molecular hydrogen (H2) has been detected, providing another potential energy source for life.

Can Venus be seen in the daytime?

At its best, Venus is brighter than all other celestial objects except the sun and moon. Right now, the brilliant planet is so bright that you can actually see it in the daytime, if you know where to look. Venus doesn’t make any visible light of its own. It shines by reflecting sunlight.

Can astronauts see the sun in space?

The International Space Station travels at a brisk 17,100 miles per hour. That means it orbits Earth every 90 minutes—so it sees a sunrise every 90 minutes. Thus, every day, the residents of the ISS witness 16 sunrises and 16 sunsets.
