I could have saved the 19 mill and just give them a funnel and a hose and have them drink their own piss.
"The new system will be able to transfer urine to a device that can produce drinking water." It would appear Mexico isn't the only place one could go to where it wouldn't be wise to "drink the water" ?
Well, it has leg restraints.. so that's definitely worth it. The article didn't mention if it included the Babushka selling the astronauts individual sheets of T.P.
How odd that the toilet module on the Russian side transfers its urine to a tank that later burns-up in the atmosphere! Why not just let it vaporize in space like we do during other missions?
I remember reading somewhere about a $17,000.00 hammer that went to outer space, they must buy their products at Homo-Depot. :biggrin1:
Imagine that thing being lost outside the space station and it eventually coming back down from space and hitting someone in the head. Oooooohhh, that's gonna hurt !
There are issues with space junk in orbit causing problems, but I really have heard that argument when I suggested nuclear and toxic wastes be shot into the sun. People are just that uneducated. It's sad.
Agreed. I admit my plan was slightly flawed:wink:... but oddly enough nobody ever objected on those grounds.
