Purified urine to be astronauts' drinking water


"As NASA prepares to double the number of astronauts living aboard the International Space Station, nothing may do more for crew bonding than a machine being launched aboard the space shuttle Endeavour on Friday."  

It is a water recycling device that purifies the crew urine to make it comsumable. They did blind tests of the purfied water and there seems to be no difference in taste except for a hint of iodine.
