Human space travel may well be exciting, but anyone that does it has to accept that consuming water from recycled urine will be part of the mission.
NASA said it was able to recycle about 98 per cent urine and sweat from astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS) into drinking water -- an advance that can help it in upcoming missions to the Moon, Mars and beyond.
Scientists found a way to recover 98 percent of all water brought aboard by the space station's crew.
It’s a big deal for future space missions
ISS systems hit a water recovery milestone of 98% with the better processing of water contained in brine created when crewmates’ urine is distilled.
