The AI genuis has just explained it to me …

Astronauts pee in space using a specialized vacuum toilet system that relies on suction rather than gravity. A hose with a funnel adapter sucks urine into a container, where it is later recycled into drinking water, or during spacewalks, they use high-absorption diapers called Maximum Absorbency Garments (MAGs).

Suction hey. Could be a hairy experience for a man.

Trivia is about the small often overlooked facts. Which I love.
But I am not a fan of the poorly presented fact. Do bees “have to” travel this distance? Perhaps bees, on average, need to travel this distance. Some hives of bees may travel a lot less.
Trivial difference in wording…
