Too bad for astronauts, seems like they will be privy to drinking recycled water from their own urine when they're in space. Transportation costs ofcarrying bringing drinking water through space will greatly be reduced if the urine-recycling system is used to extract drinking water. NASA is still finalizing the system to be used for purifying the urine, as there are three systems they are choosing from, or possibly incorporating together, to make the best possible system to recover clean water. So far they're able to recover 92 percent of the waste water to be made drinkable! Hopefully I'll not be around when the time comes for everyone in the world will be needing to drink this kind of water.
