How long does it take to become an astronaut?
It takes more than school to gain a foothold as anĀ astronautĀ selection candidate, however.

How can astronaut pee?
AstronautsĀ canĀ urinateĀ into a long tube with a vacuum system sucking away the waste or they can sit down on a special space toilet on board the ISS. āThe airflow keeps everything going down the pipe,ā Major Peake explains, āSimple as that.ā
There is a lot of stories about the astronauts who went in trips to space, or who visited the moon, but there is a lot more. There is plenty of strange stories that happened to astronauts when they traveled all the way out of our Earth, but this will be for another talk.
