It has been years since the first expedition to space changed the course of humanity. Lately, artists, billionaires and normal people like you and I have been thinking of travelling to space. We might think humans floating in space is already fascinating as it is. But wait 'til you discover nine of these shocking facts about everyday life in space:
1. You can't do laundry in space...yet
Water in space is very minimal, which makes it impossible to wash clothes. However, that just might change in 2022 as Tide recently partnered with NASA in a Space Act Agreement to explore the possibilities of efficiently cleaning astronauts' clothing in space. Soon, astronauts will be able to do laundry using a fully degradable detergent even in environments with limited resources.

This is also exciting news for us non-astronauts as this innovation might also unlock sustainable solutions for people on earth.
