Im always happy when I find a video of his that I haven't seen yet.

I feel like Bear Grylls would get a kick out of this.

[TheWiseDucky]

Lol I'm having a marathon of these space videos. They're so addicting!

Hey Chris can you play minecraft in space

[JonnyFlash]

Fascinating! Now if we could only reclaim 93% of our water here on earth we wouldn't have to worry about where to find sources of fresh water for the growing population.

0:50 I could watch him toss that bag around in his hands all day lol its just fascinating! :)

[ballistic]

This guys be like: oh i need some water, lemme pee first.

[jdyt]

I don't know why? But I think u r the real hero, staying in the space without family and also making useful videos for us in youtube giving us the feel of space.
After i started looking ur videos i have learned too many

The fact that this comment section is still active after 7 years is lit.

his face when he drinks the water :D

I love these videos! Thanks so much to Chris Hadfield for taking the time to create them!

Agreed. From what I could see on the keg, it looks like the waste water runs through some sort of HPLC system, or at least uses the filters from HPLC. To implement such a system on Earth, it would undoubtedly be expensive, but perhaps there are ways to refine and streamline the system and components to make it less so.

I am completely in love with everything related to astrology, great job Hadfield.

é muito bom entrar o youtube e saber que tem vídeo novo do Chris Hadfield

[danstrayer]

just a regular guy. You'd never know how much knowledge is in his head

[Xyber]

I'm so happy I subbed to this channel! Thanks Chris for all your awesome videos! Keep em coming, your getting more and more popular by the day.

The fact of being just a wall between you and the space, the absolut void, its mindblowing.

The level of engineering that went into the water purification system must be utterly insane... because you can't just boil/distill water and drink that, that's unhealthy for you, as it's just pure H2O, lacking all the minerals necessary. It'll instead take the minerals out of your body, so this system not only filters and distills, but also re-mineralises the water in one go. Amazing.

Working for NASA is probally the biggest flex in the world.
