14 DAY TRIAL // This video was posted online only a few days ago, and it is already causing quite a stir, most likely because science and space enthusiasts worldwide are utterly fascinated by how astronauts have managed to wash their hands while in zero-gravity.
The video shows astronaut Chris Hadfield using a so-called no rinse body bath to clean his hands. As one can easily notice, the astronaut begins by squirting out some of this solution, which forms a ball and heads towards the ceiling.
As quickly as possible, Chirs Hadfield grabs said floating ball and rubs it on his hands. He then grabs a towel and dries himself.
“The process is sort of like being in a sailboat and you need a clean, it's kind of the same thing,” Chris Hadfield says.
