NASA is launching a machine aboard the space shuttle Endeavour, which will recycle astronauts’ urine for consumption as water.
“We did blind taste tests of the water. Nobody had any strong objections. Other than a faint taste of iodine, it is just as refreshing as any other kind of water,” the Telegraph quoted NASA’s Bob Bagdigian, the system’s lead engineer, as saying.
“I’ve got some in my fridge. It tastes fine to me,” he added.
What an ENDEAVOUR! NASA can very soon start a soft drink business in competition to Pepsi/Coke. But don’t export anything to India, please.
