I'm sure everyone has heard about the plan to recycle urine into water on the International Space Station.
I read this on NASA's web page:
Space shuttle Endeavour is carrying two refrigerator-sized racks packed with a distiller and an assortment of filters designed to process astronauts' urine and sweat into clean drinking water.
The crew of the International Space Station will test the whole apparatus, but they won't drink any at first. Instead, they will take numerous samples and return them to Earth for detailed testing. After the testing is complete, controllers will clear the astronauts to use the fresh water in orbit.
I'm sorry, but nothing could make me drink that water. I don't care how much it is filtered, processed and tested.
