NASA takes recyclingto a new level !!

Quote:
Among the shuttle Endeavor's cargo is a water regeneration system that distills, filters, ionizes, and oxidizes wastewater ? including urine ? into fresh water for drinking.

The water has been thoroughly tested on Earth, including blind taste tests that pitted recycled urine with similarly treated tap water.

Oh if a man tried to take his time on Earth and prove before he died what one man's life could be worth, well I wonder what would happen to this world ? - Harry Chapin

I did an internship at Johnson Space Center a few years ago and got to meet the team working on that kind of stuff. Pretty neat.
