“Most dead skin is washed down the drain when we bathe, but in space there’s no shower and no gravity for the particles to fall to the floor — the dead skin simply floats in the air.”

Space seems less and less glamorous with each moment. 🤦‍♀️

Left Coast Justin Ewwww. Dandruff as a public health emergency....

Westerly Wind No showers. You have to wear your underwear for 3 days and your T-shirt for 10 days. Not for the faint of heart and, ahem, faint of nose

Yup. Bonding experience - floating through your colleagues dandruff clouds…

Westerly Wind Urgh. I did not think about this. Breathing in your colleagues' callus and dandruffs goes a bit beyond the usual bonding experiences at corporate retreats 😂


Left Coast Justin I assume, Nataliya, you meant 'dead' and not 'Dad'

mwana Justin! 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Certainly. Although if there’s generational space travel, then it may end up being Dad skin 😂

I’m terrible with typos on my phone 😔

And that’s why I never forget that particular comma.
