How do astronauts go to the toilet?Very carefully. The last thing any astronaut needs is the contents of a toilet floating into their face. The toilet on the International Space Station, the Universal Waste Management System, cost a whopping 23 million US dollars to design and build, making it the most expensive loo in the known universe. Gravity is important when it comes to going to the toilet (we prefer things to plop downwards than upwards). So in a weightless environment, a bit of suction is necessary to get everything where it's meant to be. Carefully designed funnels and hoses are used, strapped on to the astronaut if necessary, and the astronaut might choose to wedge themselves in a corner to stop themselves floating away.
