Astronauts have a pretty good reason for not washing their clothes – it's all about saving water! In space, every drop of water is precious, so they can't afford to waste it on laundry. Instead, they wear their clothes until they get too dirty or smelly, then simply discard them. These used clothes become part of the space junk orbiting Earth. To keep fresh, astronauts often wear multiple layers, sort of like a never-ending fashion show with undergarments. And when they're done with a piece of clothing, it's disposed of during reentry, where it burns up in the Earth's atmosphere. 🚀👕🌌 Credit: By NASA: Flight Engineer Michael Hopkins: https://www.nasa.gov/image-feature/flight-engineer-michael-hopkins-works-on-us-spacesuit-maintenance-1 Astronaut Mark Vande Hei: https://www.nasa.gov/image-feature/astronaut-mark-vande-hei-unpacks-us-spacesuits Nicole Mann and Koichi Wakata: https://www.nasa.gov/image-feature/astronauts-nicole-mann-and-koichi-wakata-work-on-spacesuits Chris Cassidy and Bob Behnken: https://www.nasa.gov/image-feature/astronauts-chris-cassidy-and-bob-behnken-work-on-us-spacesuit-maintenance Astronaut Jack Fischer: https://www.nasa.gov/press-release/briefing-nasa-television-coverage-set-for-upcoming-us-spacewalks Astronaut Tom Marshburn: https://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/imagegallery/image_feature_1425.html Lcvg: https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=18235995 Spacesuits Tested: https://www.nasa.gov/image-feature/orion-spacesuits-tested-in-reduced-gravity-environment Orion Suited Crew: https://www.nasa.gov/image-feature/orion-suited-crew-testing Artemis III spacesuit: By NASA/Axiom Space, https://www.nasa.gov/feature/spacesuit-for-nasa-s-artemis-iii-moon-surface-mission-debuts Exploration Development Suits: By NASA/Bill Stafford, https://www.nasa.gov/image-feature/exploration-development-suits-0 Artemis II Crew: By NASA/James Blair, https://www.nasa.gov/image-feature/artemis-ii-crew-revealed/ Spacesuit Testing: By NASA/ Bill Stafford, https://www.nasa.gov/content/astronaut-spacesuit-testing-for-orion-spacecraft Animation is created by Bright Side. #brightside —————————————————————————————- Music from TheSoul Sound: https://thesoul-sound.com/ Listen to Bright Side on: Spotify – https://open.spotify.com/show/0hUkPxD34jRLrMrJux4VxV Apple Podcast – https://podcasts.apple.com/podcast/idhttps-podcasts-apple-com-podcast-bright-side/id1554898078 —————————————————————————————- Our Social Media: Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/brightside/ Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/brightside.official/ Tik Tok – https://www.tiktok.com/@brightside.official?lang=en Snapchat – https://www.snapchat.com/p/c6a1e38a-bff1-4a40-9731-2c8234ccb19f/1866144599336960 Stock materials (photos, footages and other): https://www.depositphotos.com https://www.shutterstock.com https://www.eastnews.ru —————————————————————————————- For more videos and articles visit: http://www.brightside.me
