Just imagine it, you're walking down the street and some girl with a mic and a cameraman stops you, and asks you about astronaut laundry..

that awkward moment when it's actually cheaper to burn your laundry in re-entry than it is to wash it...

would it be cheaper to wash with a mashine in space instead of bringin a new ship just for the laundry? i know there a regular mission but isn't all the laundry heavier than a onetime trip with a washingmashine and a bit of water for it?

Using a rotating laundry is just impossible, because there is no gravity. Water just CAN'T be pushed through the clothes... if you did it, you would have to do it with a lot of pressure and with a lot of water, which requires a lot of energy being used. Using a pump would cost even more energy. It's cheaper to get the laundry up there by launching it. It goes with a lot of different things that have to go up there anyway...

"There is no dust in space?" Okay, I get where hes going. As in, there is no Earth like dust inside a space station, but even there he would be wrong because dust is mostly dead skin particles. So unless you remove the humans you will have dust inside a space station. It would kinda be funny though that if they washed their clothes on board it would probably be the only place the had decent gravity (washing machines are mini centrifuges).

How would you wash them though? There is no running water and even if there was, because of zero gravity spinning the clothes (so that water can flote through it) is quite a difficult thing.

I really don't think people wash their underwear because of dust, something tells me it has something to do more with feces.

Video starts at 1:11.

you could use a laundry mashine that rotats and running water could made with a simple pump. i know at first it is a lot but in the long run they would not need to lunch up laundry

Obviously using a Earth bound washing machine in space wouldnt be a good idea, but mechanically washing clothes in micro gravity would hardly be a impossible engineering task. Of course it would first of all have to be a closed system and maybe focus on cleaning the clothes in the middle with brushes or whatever and I bet a fast enough centrifuge would make the clothes stick to the sides to remove water.

Couldn't they at least disinfect their clothes with space radiation?

a pump all the way to space?

Come on people, just because someone doesn't know the answer or doesn't know anything about astronomie and or Astronauts, doesn't make them stupid. I bet if someone asks your something about a subject you don't care or just don't know anything about you won't know the answer either. It doesn't make your a idiot. Just wanted to say that.

thats silly. a pump on the ISS to make running water.

The Asian guy is offended for the subtitles...

Hahah...Was that a monthy python sketch?

Uhm, the water would just go all the one place and the clothes wouldn't rotate either because there is nothing pulling it against the bottom. So if they het the bottom it would just fly randomly through the machine. And the Cargo ship with fresh clothes also come with food and other usefull stuff they need and at the end it are 5 big organisations with a large budget paying for it.

Damn so some of the shooting stars I like to stay up late and watch are actually burning poop 😂 and I was thinking how lucky I was to witness the death of billion year old rocks

they are living under rocks!

I will say only two words: "Chris Hadfield"

Damn, you are good in arguing

centrifugal forces works in the space with no gravity.

well. you have to capture and clean up just like on the Earth

yeah but your on a safty harnest and its rare to go on space walks

dust in your house its mostly dead skin. but dust in the space its something else. there is a dust on the moon for example. btw there is no dust on space station because they have the best filters money can buy,

No dust?...

Well, eventually they'll have to do laundry in space, especially on a Mars trip.

No shit Einstein

what was the original comment?

Astro Not II

I don't know anything HAHA!

can they take water into space? seriously!

Obviously they have counters for issues, but the fact still remains that dust is created inside a space station because most of dust comes from human dead cells. Your argument is kinda circular fallacy because I could counter with: "Why are the filters there then if there is no dust created inside a space station?" You are just arguing semantics.

What does an astronaut do with his underwear after an arousing dream?

Nothing, I just saw a bunch of comments here and on evry video where people say a theory they think works and then people comment on saying that they're an idiot and stuff like that.

Why ? There are deaf people who need subtitles.

Yay

powdered water is the dumbest thing i ever heard in my life.

Don’t go there, French guy ->.>

Lol, I prefer the way Germans spell astronomy. ( astronomie )

the first 1:10 is pure corruption

hue

On the other hand, your lack of ability to detect sarcasm speaks volumes about your overall capacity for intelligence.

Yo

These are some dumb guys right there. No dust in space? OK, let's say he doesn't know about cosmic dust, but does he actually believe they just go up there and float in open space? Why would he say that otherwise? Or the idea that they don't bring up water up there, lol. I suppose they just use powder water instead. The first guy wasn't that far off - using disposable underwear is a great idea.

of course there is a dust in space station created by dead human skin. but is not really present.its only on the filters.got me? please differentiate space and space station.not the same.

So you just wanted to make fools out of people? That’s being mean.

Burning underwear in the air? stupid people on the street? great..

and I thought creationists were stupid...

Wow...let's make a video and instead of giving a direct answer, let's waste people's time by asking a bunch of random (you know because only men exist on this planet) people who know absolutely NOTHING.
