1 Life On The I.S.S By Dylan, Sean and Seb

2 Sanitation In Space: Sanitation in space is waste disposal just like it is on earth. Sanitation Is a lot more dangerous as micro organisms and bacteria grow and spread at a more alarming rate.

3 How Astronauts Shower and use the bathroom in space. Diapers are used in liftoff The toilet used is very similar as it uses air to suck out the waste, When showering they spray water on them as it floats to them using a nozzle and then they vacuum the water off them.
