High physical fitness is a requirement and that helps with the jaw line
To be an astronaut, you also need solid steel balls... and whatever the female equivilant would be to that statement.
Titanium uterus.
What's the galvanic corrosion rate between steel and titanium? Is this why they don't want astronauts to fuck?
Well it all goes away with the fluid shifts that happen in microgravity. Could you imagine the flabby chins that would occur with someone with a weak jaw line. I think its a self evident requirement.
Something about this hits the uncanny valley for me.

Not pictured: all the bags of pee
I heard they were using an actual toilet this time? Which I would assume eliminates the need for bags of pee but I haven't really looked into it.
The toilet is malfunctioning, but only for liquid waste, somehow
Bummer. Hope fully they have backup bags.
