This week, NASA revealed that the International Space Station’s Environmental Control and Life Support System (ECLSS) is recycling 98 percent of all water astronauts bring aboard the station…
Both cool and disgusting.
Most cities recycle water too. Maybe not 98 percent but a large percentage of water.
Nice that’s a huge milestone, that way you don’t have to lug thousands of kilos of water to mars bc you waste it all, you can just keep reusing the same amount over and over
I mean, the water we drink now has been an animal or a human’s pee.
It doesn’t say how the 2% loss occurs. I’m curious how water actually leaves the system since the ISS is obviously airtight.
Well, they’re in space… so that makes a lot of sense.
Imagine you are chilling on the sofa watching netflix with your girl and some random girl knocks at your door and shouts: “WOW! Your filtered piss tastes so GREAT!”
…
Thats an odd way to give someone a blowjob.
I’ve always wondered how long a tank of water of some size would last. Everyone always handwaved away all the details of energy, food, water, etc in sci fi shows, but I’ve always been interested in those aspects.
The Martian was satisfying for this reason, but I want MORE.
Watched the Expanse?
Yeah, really loved it, thought about mentioning it but left it out.
So, what are they doing with the other 2%? Using it for propulsion?
Is it something weird? It’s something weird, isn’t it?
Drinking it straight, duh
D:
Gonna need to open a little wider I hear Chris Hadfield has a massive hog
That scans.
Please, tell me this wine isn’t made from your pee, because its delicious…
