In a not so serious interview (video) from the International Space Station on space.com, Italian astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti gives a sit through of how to use the most private of facilities on the ISS.

The biggest complaint from the folks on the ISS is that the fan used for sucking the poo and the pee into the containers provided is too loud, and everybody knows when you are going.

Howard Wolowicz would be proud.

    To be fair, at least being annoyed by the fan means that you won't be dodging the much feared 'Enveloping Brown Cloud of Despair' when the person using the 'head' opens the door. ;-)

    What happens to all of the semen in space? The male astronauts do masturbate, I would have to assume. Even if they don't, soon enough their penises will wildly squirt out the excess semen while they sleep. So where does it all go?

      As Peter Griffon found out, it turns the ISS (or space shuttle in his case) into a gigantic snow globe.
