There Are 5 Hilarious Facts About NASA, ISS and Astronauts:
FACT 1: PUKING
Some people will be made fun of because they barf in certain situations. There is no doubt that this happens to NASA and ISS astronauts, and it happens more than you think. Chris Hadfield, one of the most famous astronauts of all time, was quoted as saying that everyone throws up eventually, while on board. He also added that this does not matter because they have the privilege of being up in space.
FACT 2: THE SMELL
The same man who spoke about the vomiting of astronauts, Hadfield, also pointed out how space shuttles used to smell really awful. Hadfield noted how there is a toilet in the middle of everything, and that all members have to use it. So, think of it as NASA and ISS astronauts getting together to share one porta-potty!
FACT 3: BULLS IN A CHINA SHOP
You probably just read that fact and wondered what on Earth I am talking about. Famous NASA and ISS astronauts have made the analogy that rookie astronauts are like bulls in a China shop. They say that they push with full velocity and bang their heads on all sorts of things.
FACT 4: DON’T SCREW SOMETHING UP
Another NASA member, Paraznski, noted how if any astronauts screwed something up, the other members would never let them live it down. He noted that everyone is looking for something to laugh at. They never let it get too personal, they just like to have a little fun messing around with one another.
FACT 5: NICKNAMES
Paraznski pointed out how all the members of the crew, will end up getting a nickname. Unfortunately, they are not always nice and Paraznski said he had an awful one. He said he was called “Doogie Howser”, and that he let his crew members know how much he hated it. That did not stop them from calling him that, though.
