How do you bathe in a space shuttle?
Astronauts have two choices: shower or sponge bath. A sponge bath is a simple two-step process, using one soapy washcloth to clean and then a second wet washcloth to rinse off. A shower is a plastic cylinder, measuring about three feet (one meter) around, which is encased in another cylinder that runs from the floor to the ceiling so water doesn't escape. ChaCha!
