Astronauts Drinking Recycled Urine

May 21st 2009 19:28
Okay so for this post I looked up “drinking urine” on Google and found over 370,000 entries. Some of you people live very different lives from me. Apparently some of you believe drinking urine will make you stronger or tougher or more resistant to certain maladies. I’ll pass.

What brings me to the subject of urine drinking is not that the Australians have a rude name for beer.

Our astronauts can now drink water made from their own recycled urine. Yes a milestone has been reached. One astronaut says:



Tastes Great.



Less Filling….


The beer that made Australia famous…



Oh by the way, for those of you who think I am being, rude, crude and obnoxious, consider this, some of the citizens of the two most populous nations on earth namely China and India think that drinking urine has therapeutic value. Hey if you want to get pissed off, consider that….Worldwide maybe a million or so people are doing something you consider vile. I guess a million people can be wrong? And yes, that million is a very, very conservative estimate.

Micheal, I think this idea do make sense, as once the urine is distilled and sterilized, it becomes crystal clear distilled water! I won't hesitate to drink it, if I have no more choices...

I guess its a novel way of getting on the "piss" so- to- speak.

After all humans have been drinking recycled water for eons.

There was a big fuss in Brisbane when the government wanted to introduce recycled water into the drinking supply when the dams were running low... you know, even though recycled water is purer than the other water in the dams.

Interestingly, if you've ever had Sauvignon Blanc wine, one of the distinct flavours is cat urine.
