Their innovative design recycles human urine into a "sugary drink", which accompanied astronauts of the Atlantis space crew in 2011. Their "forward osmosis" technology has the potential to save NASA a ton of money and fuel because of the system's lightweight design, but we think their invention could serve a multiplicity of uses well beyond the rocket ship....<br><br><a href='https://inhabitat.com/nasas-pee-recycling-forward-osmosis-bag-turns-urine-into-an-out-of-this-world-beverage/'>READ ARTICLE</a>
