Spit takes are hilarious.

Spit takes in microgravity are life-changing spiritual experiences.

To steal from Blackadder II, the Captain wouldn’t notice because he started drinking his own urine well before the water on the ship ran out.

Ah, perhaps the origin for the twin supervillains, Urinus and Uranus.

Today we’re replacing Captain Kirk’s urine with Folgers Dilithium Crystals, lets see if he notices.

Worse, would it bring back the token evil super villains whose desire to rule the world would cause them to create a giant version of the machine and threaten to turn the world’s oceans into urine?

And the only way to prevent this would be to have the government pay said villain…

One hundred… million… dollars! *puts pinky finger to lip*

I don’t think William Hurt’s recycled urine would be as impacting as Jürgen Prochnow’s recycled urine. I submit that the 1984 “Dune” version is superior to the 2000 tv miniseries version.

That being said…in theory…what would happen if the urine recycler was installed incorrectly in reverse mode? Would it turn water into urine? Would it turn urine into super-concentrated mutant hobo urine?

In London UK it is always said that the tap water has been drunk twice before. A triumph of recylcling. Very good quality

Battery chickens have their own excrement dried and mixed with thie food. It would appear that their digestive sytem is a bit inefficient. How do we rate?

Astronaut: *Sits sipping water*

Technician: *Walks in room dusting hands* Wellp, it took some doing but I finally got that pee converter to work right.

Astronaut: *Spit take*

I don’t get the joke.

Oh, wait, you were serious? Here? We can’t have that.

(But yes, this is an excellent example of practical benefits of a space program.)

Our family ripped the heads off of live turkeys and sucked out the innards, but drinking your own pee!? Man, your family sounds seriously messed up….

I think it’s more of a sentiment of “Yippee, our astronauts don’t have to die of dehydration!”

And hey, you can’t have “yippee” without “pee”. So yes, it is completely appropriate.

Now waiting for video of super-nerdy ISS astronauts dancing in Zero-G.

Nice.

Was Martha Stewart the first chef to use a tiny urinal cake garnish?

I posit that there is no universe in which Costner drinking his own urine is not funny.

What it means for astronauts is nothing compared to what it means for people in drought-stricken countries or areas with contamination problems.

Wait, up until now we COULDN’T drink our on pee?

I’m confused.

Then how do YOUR families celebrate Thanksgiving?

These modern space travelers will miss witnessing the majesty of the “urine dump,” when urine is expelled from the spacecraft and turns into a halo of golden crystals. One astronaut [can't remember which] described this phenomenon as “beautiful.”
I don’t think he mentions what happens to- the other stuff- when it is ejected.
