Hand Washing Techniques in Space

Nicolas from Corpus Christi school asks how to wash hands with soap and water in space. The video demonstrates using a no rinse body bath, a special soapy water that doesn't require rinsing. The process involves squirting water, washing hands, and drying with a towel. The evaporated water is reused in the space station, similar to methods used on sailboats.
