Some Soap Here, Some Soap There, Add Water, and I'm Clean!

While orbiting 270 miles (435 kilometers) above Earth NASA Astronaut Jack R. Lousma, the Skylab 3 pilot, takes a hot bath. In deploying the shower facility the shower curtain is pulled up from the floor and attached to the ceiling. The water comes through a push-button shower head attached to a flexible hose. Water is drawn off by a vacuum system.
