It only holds 6 tons and can be flown only once before it self-destructs?

Noobs. Big smile

They were actually going to buy some of these ships but rejected it and instead are developing the Orion Spacecraft for trips to the Moon and near Earth Asteroids and will be using a lighter version for the ISS. Larger later versions are being planned for a Mars run.

I am glad Space is finally seeing some interest.

Says its got a machine in it to convert urine into water.

Imagine being the engineer who installs and tests this machine:

Maintenance log: Damn, it's broken again. The water tastes like ****.


Or imagine being the scientist who invented it:

Model A v1 Test #5: Result tastes like ****.
...
Model A v1 Test #27: No, still tastes nothing like water.
...
Model A v2 Test#13: Again, still tastes like ****.
...

Loss is meaningful. Therefore is the loss of meaning likewise meaningful. It is the source of all trolling.

as amusing as it is to think about, it probably wouldn't be taste tested until very late in development.

As little as NASA have cared about the lifes of astronauts on some occasions would I not be surprised if they let the astronauts do the final taste test.

With ESA can I imagine that there is a protocol, a standardized test procedure and a set of minimum requirements regarding the taste and that it needed 10-20 engineers to come up with it, where everyone of them will have volunteered to do the test.

I have no idea where the Russians stand on this matter, but it would not surprise me if the Russians were to toss their urine into space or invent a fermentation process that turns urine into alcohol.

Loss is meaningful. Therefore is the loss of meaning likewise meaningful. It is the source of all trolling.

Unless my chemistry is failing me I am pretty sure that filtering urine through a reverse osmosis pump leaves 100% pure H20, no pee left in it at all.
