After reading the article about Astronauts drinking their own piss, the first thing that comes to mind is Waterworld.

HOUSTON - At the international space station, it was one small sip for man and a giant gulp of recycled urine for mankind.

Astronauts aboard the space station celebrated a space first on Wednesday by drinking water that had been recycled from their urine, sweat and water that condenses from exhaled air. They said "cheers," clicked drinking bags and toasted NASA workers on the ground who were sipping their own version of recycled drinking water.

"The taste is great," American astronaut Michael Barratt said. Then as Russian Gennady Padalka tried to catch little bubbles of the clear water floating in front of him, Barratt called the taste "worth chasing."

I am not a man to criticize... Wait, yes I am... Is this a god damn ad to sell urine to the public? The title of the headline is "Cheers! Crew drinks up recycled urine in space" with the subtitle "'The taste is great,' astronaut says after toasting new water apparatus" I mean it is trying to proclaim how great their recycled urine tastes... a taste worth chasing?! C'MON! I don't get exactly how this could even taste that great? If it is suppose to be 'water' I have never said water tastes "great" unless I'm dehydrated or hungover, I have stated that water tastes like crap, but how can water taste great? water doesn't even have a god damn taste!

The first image you see on the topic actually is of the video, but I think it says the truth.

If that doesn't make you wonder, then how about this excerpt.

Yucky stuff thrown away
The new system takes the combined urine of the crew from the toilet, moves it to a big tank, where the water is boiled off, and the vapor collected. The rest of contaminants — the yucky brine in the urine — is thrown away, said Marybeth Edeen, the space station's national lab manager who was in charge of the system.

The water vapor is mixed with water from air condensation, then it goes through filters, much like those put on home taps, Edeen said.

When six crew members are aboard it can make about six gallons from urine in about six hours, Edeen said.

Some people may find the idea of drinking recycled urine distasteful, but it is also done on Earth, but with a lot longer time between urine and tap, Edeen said. In space, it takes about a week, she said.

I like the last line... meaning, when you are SOL it's all you got. Of course, this is survival, not as bad as using urine to whiten teeth.
