Viral video: ‘There are no showers up here’ – Indian astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla reveals how astronauts manage hygiene in microgravity
Indian astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla shared a video from the International Space Station demonstrating how astronauts maintain personal hygiene without traditional showers. Due to microgravity, water doesn't flow downwards, necessitating the use of pre-shampooed washcloths for cleaning. Every drop of water is crucial and recycled, highlighting the scientific ingenuity required for life in orbit.
