Space is a vast wasteland filled with countless wonders, but WGO has one in particular that we couldn't pass up exploring. This week the WGO crew breaches the upper atmosphere to visit the International Space Station to find out how astronauts use the restroom while in space. What did astronauts use as a restroom in the first missions? How has it changed over time? Are there gendered space bathrooms? What happens when an emergency strikes while in your space suit?... and of course much more. As always, we hope you enjoy the episode and try not to learn too much!
