Here is what really happens when you jump in space (and it's not pretty)

This may not be a question you have thought about, but the answer is quite alarming.

A former space station astronaut explained that he was not at all like a burp on Earth – and that all had to do with gravity.

Former commander Chris Hadfield said, "You can not jump into space because the air, the food and the liquids in your stomach all float like thick bubbles.

Hadfield said, "If you scream, you throw up in your mouth. So, guess where the trapped air goes? '

In fact, astronauts have said that what comes out of it is "generally wet".

All this is related to gravity, which means that on Earth, trapped air tends to rise to the stomach.

In space, this is not the case, which means that a mixture of liquid vomit and air tends to come out instead of a nice crispy patella.

Going to the bathroom is also pretty bad, because astronauts have to stick their pieces in vacuum tubes to pee and poo – while standing on metal bars for their balance.

But even that is nothing compared to what astronauts in the space race have endured.

The toilet facilities in the Apollo 10 panicked capsule were not exactly five stars – to the point that Apollo astronauts were generally using laxatives before the flight to reduce the risk of a task that a report from the NASA would qualify as "unpleasant" and "requiring excessive time".

The three astronauts on board – Thomas Stafford, Eugene Cernan, and John Young – were confronted with rather unpleasant dangers in space in May 1969, in the form of a 500-page transcript of their record of mission.

"Give me a towel, quickly," said Commander Stafford. "There is a shit floating in the air."
