      Nope! Snot will leave your nose with some speed and, because there is almost no gravity to make it go down, it will just keep moving until it hits something. So do not sneeze on your space suit, it will just mess up your helmet 😉

      When you sneeze in space, you will have a spacesuit on… You will have to be careful as you can’t blow your nose in this heavy space suit. You have to be careful with your helmet on where you direct your sneeze as it can be messy!!!!
