Bringing water aboard a spaceship has always been troublesome for astronauts, as water adds a lot of weight to the ship. For years, scientists at NASA have been working on perfecting a system that converts urine to water, and on Wednesday they'll finally launch such a system; a $250 million machine, to be exact. NASA realizes and understands the public conception of such a system, but state that the water that comes out of this machine is actually cleaner than U.S. tap water. This, of course, begs the question, what the hell are we drinking here on Earth?! If you're living in Orange County, CA, however, you already know the taste of water extracted from human waste...although maybe you never realized it until reading this article.
