Quite simply, when astronauts are sitting in the Space Shuttle, strapped to their seats and ready to go, they may experience very long delays. Sometimes even hours. And when that happens, they just can't get off their seats to go to the toilet. They just have to do it, as Alan Shepard discovered while waiting inside his Mercury capsule on May 5, 1961, waiting for theFreedom 7 mission launch. He was the first American to reach Space and the first astronaut to pee inside his suit.

eeewww... Good think I never felt attracted to take this career, lol.
Gross D:
sounds pretty nasty! They must not have good hygiene in space!
You wouldn't want it spraying around in zero g.
atleast he's the first
I'm sure that diaper is ultra absorbent and can take care off pee but what about space poo? That's got to be the worst. Having to sit in a diaper full of your own space poo
haha how very very dégutant
Ahh I couldn't do it, would gross me out
In the microgravity environment of space, it is apparently possible to move oneself around by farting. For this and other reasons, the toilet on space station Mir had restraining devices. "The restraining devices also serve to keep the user from being thrust away from the toilet seat when what could tactfully be described as digestive gas thrusters are fired"
lol gotta do what ya gotta do
One pissed off MF by the time he got there. Just saying.
I wonder if the piss got in his eyes when it was just floating around.
Lolololol. I hope it doesn't smell.
disgustingly understandable
Sounds nasty but they have to do it, safety reasons :\ they can't keep getting up to pee
I'm guessing the space diapers of 2010 are quite different than those of 1961..
ohhhh.. that's why. lol.
bahaha yea i read an article a while back about this,
Man, I don't think I can stomach sitting in my own excrements.
That's really REALLY gross, lol
They peed already in it during training. That's officially recorded.
haha. I remember reading about stuff like this. And to think I used to want to go to space when I was little.
Everyone knows women don't poop.
I was away for the weekend, happy to read you again ;)!
Yikes!
Astronaut ... worse job than it seems
Astronaut ... worse job than it seems
interesting
I wouldn't mind shitting myself just to see earth from space :D
wow this just takes a few cool points off but i guess it's necessary
I agree with KillerKun, being able to go out into space just MIGHT be worth taking a dump in your pants. Hey, at least you get a nifty diaper!
Mmmmmmmmm....space feces. Micro G piss. Time for breakfast.
Space diaper.
