So here I am — drinking Martini Rosso with batch of chalk , sun licking my face in a NYC terrace — reading that in space they are drinking water system recycled from piss for the first clock time ever . And as you could see , they get it on it .
It just chance in the International Space Station , where the newurine recycle systemis now to the full armed and operational . agree to flight technologist Mike Barrat , this is great :

This has been the stuff of scientific discipline fiction . Everybody ’s talked about recycling weewee in a closed loop system , but nobody ’s ever done it before . Here we are today with the first round of recycled water . We ’re really felicitous for this day and for the squad that put this together . This is the kind of engineering that will get us to the moon and farther .
In fact , without this organization , any tenacious trip up there — not just go up and then down like in the Apollo deputation — would be unimaginable . Humans take water system , and water takes a lot of space , so we need a elbow room to reuse any waste liquid into potable water .
So ifwe want to broadcast people to the whizz , this is the only elbow room to do it . And actually , it is not really that gross . guess about all the crap that rap water system has : Chemicals , germs , and all kinds of ugly things loiter in the pipe and man-made lake . Up there , the piddle is as virginal as it can be .

OK , for once , I ’m glad I ’m not an astronaut . [ UPI — Thanks Genevieve ]
