I know there is a suction device for waste collection. And I think your friend is right..... I believe it is jettisoned somehow outside of the shuttle..... but not 100% sure.

they would do a flush in space before they start the reentry.

LOL.. too funny!!!

 

 

The truth of the matter is this.. they have a suctioned collection unit. They each have individual "hoses" that they go in. And then it is expelled out of the shuttle. So yep.. there's a whole lotts s*** flying around up there.

Remember Tang

Actually, they can eat regularly, but I read it's uncomfortable. But they do turn upside-down to drink. I'm sure all of this info is on the NASA FAQ's page if you really want to know details

When I lived in Florida we took a field trip to Kennedy and I remember learning all about this stuff. And my uncle is in the Air Force and got to go up in the plane that does the zero gravity training a few times and told me about it.
