How do you shower in space? Astronaut Tim Peake demonstrates

You can’t beat living in space: you witness sunrises and sunsets once every 90 minutes; you see mountains, lakes, and our world in a whole new perspective; plus you get to experience micro-gravity and float through your workplace.

However, the mundane, everyday tasks can pose somewhat of a challenge, from eating to going to the bathroom to showering.

British astronaut Tim Peake showed us  just what those everyday tasks look like (watch his explanation of how astronauts go to the bathroom).

In a video, Peake explains that, if you’re looking to spend some time in space, you’d better forget about hot showers.

Instead it’s all about squeezing water on a cloth. Yeah. That’s it.

You can bet the space station smells pretty funky.
