What are some other unexpected hassles about living in space?
It can be frustrating to lose things in space. It’s easy to do in zero gravity! Things just float away. Everything has to have a little piece of Velcro on it, or you slip it under a plastic bungee. But if someone [floats] by and bumps into it, it can disappear. Not just small things but fairly large things as well. You might not find them for days or months, and some things you never find! Also, everything you do had to so be well-thought-out. How do you cut your nails without all these fingernails flying around the station? I’d get a loop of duct tape and stick it on the wall and get down near the filters, then try to catch each nail and stick it on the tape. If I missed it would probably get pulled into the filters. These are all things that you’ve got to think about!
