What would happen if someone had there poo come out as a liquid in space?

Answer 1

If it's liquid, it's probably water. Water vaporizes in space. So the liquid poo would instantly dehydrate and become very dry poo.

Answer 2

If the person is already exposed to a vacuum, having their poo come out as a liquid would probably be the least of their worries.

If you mean in FREE FALL, which is not the same as being in space, well, toilets used on board spacecraft flush with air and, I would guess, are probably constantly flushing, so the poo would just be sucked away normally.

Answer 3

first of all , that is disgusting,

second of all, the "liquid poo" would be diarrhea

and the diarrhea would become dry as dirt, because of the liquid's contents, probably consisting of water ect. and water which is the formula H2O which mean one part hydrogen, 2 parts oxygen, and oxygen cannot survive in space , so the water separates from the non water-based "items" in the diarrhea and become something close to dust

(why do you want to know that anyways)

but thank you for making me think from a different perspective.....

Answer 4

It would make a mess.

On Apollo 8 Frank Borman suffered an adverse reaction to a sleeping pill and as a result experienced severe vomiting and diarrhoea. In the Apollo days, defaecation was achieved by sticking a plastic bag to your backside and doing it in that. The bag would then be removed and sealed. During the removal some inevitably escaped and the other astronauts had to clear it up using the wet wipes supplied for spillages. Bill Anders, one of the other astronauts on Apollo 8, says he cannot use those wet wipes to this day because the smell reminds him of using them to clear up Borman's mess.

Answer 6

Well if you were in space you would have to be in a suit. So your liquid poo would float around your leg, up your back and into your helmet unless you were attached to a tube.

It 'ain't nice being an Astronaut.

Answer 7

"in space" it would freeze into a shitspear.

in a spacesuit it would be caught by the nappy.

in a capsule it would officially create the most hated man in space.

Answer 8

it would freeze, although i doubt you cold use space as a toilet, you'd have a frozen butt before you'd have frozen poo.

Answer 9

It would more than likely vaporize, then immediately freeze.

Answer 10

If it was from a vindaloo - a nuclear explosion no doubt.
