It seems that when you're in space, you will no longer have the luxury of changing your underwear everyday. Instead astronauts only get to change their underwear every 3-4 days. This is due to the costs of sending goods into space which reportedly costs between $5,000-$10,000 per 500g, making sending a daily supply of underwear a ridiculously expensive experience. So much so that NASA has tasked a small disinfectant business UMPQUA to create a washing machine that can be used in space.
