20081110.1128 Astro-Upgrade
It would seem that the International Space Station is about to get a serious upgrade - a new living quarters module.
It would seem also that in an epic Greenwashing effort combined with a cold sense of revenge for the diaper-wearing-stalker incident astronauts will now be required to drink their own urine, not unlike the opening scene from Waterworld...
"Most significant is the water recovery system -- it will turn urine and condensation into fresh drinking water. The system is essential if NASA is to increase the size of the space station crew from three to six. That switch is supposed to occur by the middle of next year."
