If you've always wanted to know how astronauts take care of business miles above the Earth's surface, you're not alone. According to NASA astronaut , 'how do you go in space?' is the number one question asked by school kids.
In the YouTube clip below, Mike speaks with STS-132 Mission Specialists and as they learn to use the shuttle Atlantis' 'space potty.'
It's a remarkably complex process that involves hoses, mirrors, anatomy-based funnels, toe restraints and an 'alignment camera.'
