NASA Turns Sweat, Urine Into Drinking Water

First up, the International Space Station, Hannah is coming up with some new innovations, including one that turns sweat and urine into drinking water. Delicious. NASA engineers have found a way to reclaim 98% of the initial water taken into space on long missions. And yes, that includes sweat and urine. The environmental control and life support system is life assisting hardware that provides the crew aboard the ISS with clean air and water and that system collects and purifies waste water on board. In fact, they were actually able to recycle 98% of the water taken into space. So here's the big question. Would you take a sip? Yeah, I mean, why it's probably been cleaned and purified just the same as your normal regular drinking water is. I mean, what do you think we're getting out? I was gonna say here in New York City and in New York City is finest and he's probably been drinking by a dinosaur and 1000 other people.
