Astropee

Hey Silverhorner's !
Here's something I bet you didn't know, but you have always wondered about....what happens to pee in space? Uh-huh....see, I told you it was something you wondered about. Well it turns out that astronaut urine, hereinafter referred to as astropee is recycled....yup....they use a nifty little $250 million dollar device called a "urine recycler" to umm...well....recycle and re-use.

This all started last year when some "rocket scientist" figured out that things could be a whole lot lighter if space ships didn't have to bring along alot of water. So they put their collection rocket scientist heads together and came up with a astropee recyler that distills astropee and turns it back into drinking water through a seven step process. According to Don Holder, chief engineer at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center In Huntsville, Ala., "The concept is very simple. Basically, you are boiling urine...."

This could be huge....think about water shortages, no longer a worry, septic systems, no longer a worry, global warming drying up all the lakes, no longer a worry, heading out in the dessert without a camel, no longer a worry.....all you do is pee - boil - mix it up a bit, and Wow! A refreshing, drink to quench your thirst.....I imagine these recylers for home use will soon be on sale in a store near you! Don't laugh....this is coming...

Don't take my word for it, read the story, Here!

Remember....at The View From Silverhorn Mountain, we do the research so you don't have to !!

Cheers!
