Urine to Water

Kinda like a golden shower version of Jesus I guess, NASA has turned Urine into Water.

Read more here.

Apparently they boil it down, seperate the briney bit and then filter it till it's drinkable. It takes about 6 hrs to produce 22 litres of water.

I guess the only way to get around drinking urine is to have a healthy sense of humour and those astronauts sure are a pack of jokers.

"We are happy to have this water work through the system - we're happy to have it work through our systems."


Apparently they celebrated with a pot of peas and some bags of Wizz Fizz.
