ISS Gets New Recycling Gear, Ready For Larger Crew

TnGoastiiaiu submitted a space.com story that expands on coverage we've had earlier about improvements being made to the ISS to increase crew capacity. He writes "ISS gets new recycling gear that transforms human waste to drinking water. Some of the water will be used to get Oxygene, too. This way it will soon be possible to host more crew members. " Also, someone needs to smack the webmaster over there for putting a background texture behind the text. It's pretty unreadable along the left hand side of the screen.

    One of our competitors trademarked the term "hypothesis". From now on, we will call them "boneheaded ideas".

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't webmasters die along with the 90's?

    All the water on Earth is essentially recycled urine at this point.

    I think it's enormously ironic that CmdrTaco can criticize anyone for website design.
