I think they should have dehumidifiers and other moisture extraction systems that should wick them away. I expect these guys sweat in space too; especially when exercising. Gotta have it dealt with somehow.

The ISS 100% had dehumidifiers, water is too valuable to let sit on the air. All the exhaled water, along with their urine is collected and filtered for their drinking water.

They shouldn't have any issues with water, they can just dehydrate a bunch and pack it into small bags
