Astronauts Drink Urine and Other Waste Water | Video

[TheKyleAye]

I wanted to see the system where you poop into it and it comes out a brownie to eat.

[jdr]

Wouldn't that suck if the filtration system stopped working...

[williamkee]

I don't want to be an astronaut anymore

[ZeiTheOriginal]

How do women survive in space while having period?

[grantusher]

I am serious they need this purify water thingy in third world countries.

[CharSimmy]

Wouldn't that be a lot more difficult for a female to drink if she was on her menstrual?

Hats off for the people choosing to leave the earth for months

[Sultan-vw]

if you don't mind me asking this stupid question but, how do you use the potty if know (poop) floats?!

[angied]

Thanks Commander Hadfield, for all of your amazing videos. So fascinating!

[whitemexican]

How do you clean your room? does everything float around??

[mariosebastiani]

Doing this kind of things will maybe be needed in the near future. I wonder how much such a contraption would cost if mass-produced.

Do you even lose any water? If you recycle all your pee? I know you sweat less than a litre a day on earth, and I imagine that number is quite lower in space, and this evaporates I guess. Which leads me to another question, what happens with all the vapor? I assume the shuttle is air tight so it must get really humid after a while, so you must either let that out of the shuttle somehow, or you could turn it into drinkable water, which would mean that pretty much zero water is lost, giving you an infinite water supply? A space water circle?

When do you leave the station and how long have you been there

[nukex]

Do you guys have ice up there? I wanted to know, because i love to drink Coke with a lot of ice. And if one day I ever get up there I want to drink it. So i wanted to know if there ice in space. Thank you!!

[AnunakiAtlantis]

what about poops ? did you recycle as burger king ?

[samdilworth]

How often does the water filter have to be replaced?

[HannibalBurgers]

Man, Canadian space seems really cool.

[danhkh]
