``How Do Spaceships Deal With Astronauts' Farts?``

Space exploration is a risky endeavor, and astronauts must be prepared for the physical and mental challenges that come with it. One of the most unexpected challenges is the issue of flatulence in space. Without gravity, expelled gases, such as hydrogen and methane, do not dissipate quickly. This can be dangerous, as these gases are flammable.

In order to combat this, NASA conducted a study on two 6-man control groups to determine how to prevent astronauts from producing large amounts of flammable gas. The results showed that the Gemini-style diet created more flammable gas than the bland diet.

So, how do spaceships deal with astronauts' farts? The answer is simple: ventilation. Astronaut Mike Massimino explains that when you predict a fart coming, just head to the bathroom and 'let go' over there. The bathroom has more ventilation that can help disperse the stench. Additionally, astronauts are encouraged to exercise regularly in order to reduce the amount of gas they produce.

Collecting the methane in the farts to power the engines is not a good idea. While methane is a flammable gas, it is not a very efficient fuel source. Additionally, the amount of methane produced by astronauts would not be enough to power a spaceship.
