Swallowing is a manipulation of the throat muscles, it's not down to gravity. In theory you can swallow while upside down (but it feels odd and is harder as you're working against gravity).
Hope this answers your question.
Yes. Astronauts in space use toothpaste that is edible. Because of the absence of gravity in space, being able to swallow toothpaste is much more convenient for astronauts than having to spit it out. For this reason, edible toothpaste is used.
Space suits: to protect astronauts from extreme temperatures, micrometeoroids, and provide oxygen. Extravehicular Mobility Units (EMUs): for spacewalks to enable astronauts to move and work outside the spacecraft. Tether systems: to keep astronauts connected to the spacecraft while working in space.
Edible toothpaste was used in space as a convenient way for astronauts to brush their teeth without needing to spit out toothpaste, which could float around in microgravity. It was designed to be swallowed, eliminating the need for rinsing and reducing mess in the spacecraft.
Astronauts can perform their space walk and move around as if nothing is happening while the space station is traveling at 17,500 miles per hour, because there is no gravity. This keeps them from feeling the fast speed.
Yes, astronauts wear specialized clothing while living and working inside the space station. They wear comfortable clothes for daily activities and special space suits for spacewalks or emergencies. These suits provide protection from extreme temperatures, radiation, and microgravity conditions.
It is difficult due to the apsence of gravity, so they will have to stand upside down to swallow fluid.
Astronauts can either spit into a towel or swallow it! i talked to a realy astronaut and she said that!
edible toothpaste was invented by NASA so astronauts could swallow the toothpaste after brushing their teeth because spitting it out is harmful to people in the spacecraft and the equipment.
astronauts like to exercise while in the ship
Space Adaptation Syndrome
no
Astronauts do not shower, they must sponge bath while they are in space.
Since astronauts couldn't spit out the toothpaste in space NASA made edible toothpaste so they could just swallow the toothpaste.
Astronauts are people who fly in space
trained space astronauts
