Space Station Crew Drinks Recycled Urine
An anonymous reader writes "After the astronauts on the International Space Station finished up their communications with Space Shuttle Atlantis yesterday, the crew on the Space Station did something that no other astronaut has ever done before — drank recycled urine and sweat. The previous shuttle crew that recently returned to Earth brought back samples of the recycled water to make sure it was safe to drink, and all tests came back fine. So on Wednesday, the crew took their recycled urine and said 'cheers' together and toasted the researches and scientists that made the Urine Recycler possible. After drinking the water, they said the taste was great! They also said the water came with labels on it that said 'drink this when real water is over 200 miles away.'"
That's not Gatorade, mate!

It's just another step along the Golden Path.
I refuse to drink nature's water... Fish fuck in it.
Is that what inspired your nick? *lol*
The revolution will not be televised... but it will have a page on Wikipedia
I don't drink that stuff if it's fluoridated. Fluoridation is the most monstrously conceived and dangerous communist plot we have ever had to face!
fish don't fuck
the females just crap all their eggs in your water

you're not drinking fish fucked water
you're drinking fish circlejerked water

I do not avoid the company of astronauts, but I do deny them my essence.
Those are my principles, and if you don't like them... well, I have others.

"Additives? Whats in the toilet are additives."
Um... POO comes to mind.
Only on slashdot does a comment that says "Poo is in toilets" get moderated Informative.
Do you know when fluoridation first began? Nineteen hundred and forty-six. Nineteen forty-six, Laejoh. How does that coincide with your post-war Commie conspiracy, huh? It's incredibly obvious, isn't it? A foreign substance is introduced into our precious bodily fluids without the knowledge of the individual. Certainly without any choice. That's the way your hard-core Commie works.
FYI, I first became aware of this during the physical act of love.
