Purified urine to be astronauts' drinking water - :repuke:

And how many people do you think that cocktail of piss that is sat in front of you has been through?

You do know that the water you drink is piss/shit/rotten tissue purified naturally from deconstructors, microorganisms that complete the nature's life cycle?
This is an artificial way to do that in a closed environment.

Of course. But, the 2 processes do not seem comparable.

Actually they've been recycling urine for a little over 50 years now.

I really don't understand what the issue is with drinking recycled water, so long as it's done properly.
The water you drink from the tap now is likely to have more contaminants in it. The water you get from a pure, pristine, glacial source was probably drunk and pissed out by about 7-8 other organisms before you got to it. And I'm not talking microorganisms either. I'm talking brontosaurus and yak piss.

Laugh it up all you like, but large cities like New York, London and Tokyo will probably have to move to these sorts of setups in a decade or so.
