Do astronauts really wear adult Diaper under space suits?
You will know the answer from this video, so watch till the end.
NASA says this is not a space diaper, but it is. They call it the Maximum Absorbency Garment. I call it the Space Pooper. But why do astronauts use them?
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.
Astronauts "Alan Shepard" discovered he have to pee, while waiting inside his Mercury capsule, on May 5, 1961, waiting for the Freedom 7 mission launch.
Due to various technical problems, Shepard was stuck in the capsule for too long. He called his buddy Gordon Cooper, another member of the legendary Mercury Seven, and told he had to pee.
He couldn't go out, but the medical team thought the liquid could shortcircuit his body monitoring cables. The scientists at NASA didn't think that this could happen Shepard's flight, as it was going to be really short. so there were no space diapers or any other mechanism to accommodate Shepard's physiological needs. At the end, they shut down the monitoring system and Shepard was given the go for pee.
So from then and onwards, astronauts must wear diaper under their space suits, Even in short duration mission.
So what do you think? Without astronauts, Who have to wear diaper during their work? let me know in comment.
Space underwear is wear by astronauts and astronauts underwear is different which carry adult diaper.
