RealClearScience looks at some of the reasons Why Space Travel Can Be Absolutely Disgusting: The microgravity of space can lead to a lot of disgusting situations. If you think carpet spills are hard to clean, try collecting floating vomit, or desiccated skin."The calluses on your feet in space will eventually fall off," astronaut Scott Kelly revealed in a Reddit AMA. "So, the bottoms of your feet become very soft like newborn baby feet. But the top of my feet develop rough alligator skin because I use the top of my feet to get around here on space station when using foot rails." |
