how do astronauts urinate in space?

Answer 1

through a tube that is connected to their bladder. Kinda like people do in hospitals.

Answer 2

One astronaut has described the space toilet as a vacuum cleaner. Since there is no gravity, a vacuum cleaner like device pulls air into the toilet to direct the waste to the right place. In the old Apollo days, they just went in little plastic bags, which is still the backup method on the shuttle and space station, should the toilet be out of order.

Answer 3

I cant be stricken learning this, so visualize someone falling off of a skyscraper and under no circumstances hitting the pavement (free fall) even as attempting to squat over a funnel linked to a low powered vacuum purifier and also you get the concept...

Answer 4

they use to do it in specially designed baggies. the shuttles and stations are equipped with toilets that incinerate everything. the toilets have vacuum systems to prevent flake of incinerated waste from floating around, they do not want to be breathing this **** or letting it gum up on-board systems like computer keyboards.
good question, I suggest you check on NASA site for more.
