Love the way he said "THEN YOU CLEAN IT" about the urine funnels. I have a feeling another astronaut wasn't as thorough with the cleaning as he would have liked.
“if the sun was shining, it would shine through the urine and it would create a rainbow effect, so that’s kinda cool” that is a sentence i thought i would NEVER HEAR
Fun fact, the tank that holds the urine on the ISS actually was leaking at one time. However, thanks to the extremely cold temperatures in space, the urine froze and sealed the leak.
This was very interesting to watch. Most movies and documentary do not show this side of how life is in space. I never knew that these normal things could be a problem up there. Great video!

Dk Nurul it happens naturally. Remember the water cycle. Every drop of water on earth (except maybe some icecaps) was once inside a living thing and got out one way or another. ;)
My favorite is still the way astronauts have to burp. Because the contents of your stomach are still mostly liquid, and liquids and gasses don't separate in microgravity, you can't burp without some of the chunks coming with, effectively. To combat this, astronaut Jim Newman developed a technique whereby you crouch against a wall and push off, and while you are pushing off, you are making a tiny bit of artificial gravity, so you can safely burp. How is this man not on our money?
Oh don't worry, NASA has you covered. When they sent the first woman to space for 6 days they packed 100 tampons for her and asked "will that be enough"
