Do Astronauts Do Laundry in Space?

Kentucky Dude Original, 1-minute read

Ever wonder what's worse than finding your teenager's gym socks under the bed? Try dodging them in zero gravity. That's right - astronauts on the International Space Station face a unique challenge that makes your laundry woes seem like rocket science (pun intended): they can't wash their clothes in space.

Discover how NASA and Tide are teaming up to solve the space station's stinkiest problem, and why your sweaty workout gear might actually have more in common with astronaut fashion than you think.

Here's the move: Next time you’re in a high-stakes moment—whether it’s closing a deal, making a game-time call, or just figuring out which bourbon to order—use the "3-2-1 Rule."

• 3 seconds: Take a breath and identify the core problem. What really matters here?

• 2 options: Narrow it down. Pick the two most viable choices—don’t overcomplicate it.

• 1 action: Decide and commit. No second-guessing. Move forward with confidence. The key? Trust your instincts but temper them with logic.

Why bother? Because indecision is a killer. In business, relationships, and life, hesitation often costs more than a wrong choice. Studies show that confident decision-makers are seen as more capable, persuasive, and even more attractive. (Seriously, science says so.)

So next time the pressure’s on, don’t freeze—breathe, simplify, and execute. You’ve got this.
