The Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, has been testing a device intended for the space station that would recycle astronauts' sweat, respiration and even urine into drinking water purer than any found in a tap.

When are we moving out to Mojave and learning how to ride Worms?

But in space how can you use heel-pumps? You'd have to have some kind of external power.

Armpit pumps--which is what the Fremen originally used, until too many thirsty Fremen were given away by their incessant flatulence noises.

Mmmm. Urine.

This came up in that newsgroup, once. Only once.

I mean, what if you are one of those "no sweat" astronauts?

I'm sorry Mr. Grissom, you both have the same qualifications and credentials, but he's way sweateier than you.

if sweatiness were a prerequisite for being an astronaut, i would already be on my way to mars, even though [livejournal.com profile] naomi_traveller, the sweatless wonder, has two master's degrees... in SCIENCE!

then again, some would say i'm already on mars.

All I have to say is, you gotta have BALLS to sit in the banks of the Tennessee River and put out press releases like that.
