  1. the collect it in plastic bags and keep it in the space craft

    and clean it with tissue paper ..


  2. They can wait until landing.

    Only insane humans are completely instinct driven and you don't need much discipline to concentrate on work in space. Most astronauts would actually be very happy, if they could find only 30 minutes during a 14 day mission to just watch Earth.

  3. It is obvious to me that

    you have never heard

    any of them say:

    "Uh, Houston, we have

    a minor problem here.

    Stand-By One Please."

    or

    "Stand-By Two Please."

    They are talking about

    Number One and Number Two.

  4. When wearing their EVA suits and working in space, they have an adult diaper on underneath. When on board either the ISS or one of the shuttles, there is a special zero gravity toilet which uses air flow to direct waste where it needs to go. Urine is sterilized, purified and filtered, and the water re-used (icky). Fecal matter is deodorized and dried within the toilet.

  5. well, when they are in the shuttle there is a special potty which uses a kind of vacuum tube to collect liquid matter and plastic bags with tupperware covers for solids

    when they are outside the shuttle their suits have inbuilt suits whose workings are undisclosed
