Nasa turns urine into water!
And Jesus turns the water into… nevermind.
Look, there IS only water. There’s water in a loit of things. Urine has a boatload of water in it. Nasa isn’t turning urine into water, they’re taking the water out of the urine. You don’t even HAVE to do that to make it drinkable, you can drink your own urine directly; it’s completely sterile unless you have a bladder infection.
No, it’s the stuff in the urine that makes it objectionable, and you just have to filter that out. It’s been done on a large scale at treatment plants all over the world, and even before that, there was an engine for treating urine, both human and animal, and turning it into potable water- it’s called “the Earth’
Still, nice that the boys at Nasa have finally figured out that they don’t have to take gallons of water with them and then drag gallons of urine back.

Just for the record… urine is most definitely NOT sterile barring a bladder infection. One of the functions of your liver and other organs is to get rid of things your body doesn’t want, often by getting them into your urine.
Now, it may be that it can be thought of as being sterile *to you* in the sense that it won’t have anything in it that would make you sick(er) unless you had a bladder (or urinary tract) infection… but that’s not really the same thing.
I’d hate for your readers to all go out and start sipping the warm stuff and end up getting sick from it.
please cite that geek. i,’m pretty sure you’re wrong.
In my opinion, gatorade probably tastes like what I assume urine would taste like IF I ever chose to taste either of them.NASA can make gatorade out of urine ? DON”T tell the football that.

Urine is sterile, absent a UTI.

No, wait. I’ve got it backwards.
Beer into urine is the way to go!
That or eat a lot of beets and turn them into purple urine.
Could the problem of polluted and lack of water in Africa be solved by recycling everybodies urine in the world and turning it into water. Could it work if there was a special plumming system which seperates your poo from your pee and takes urine to get filtered directly?
