Space Shuttle Crew Get Ready for Space Walk

Astronauts prep suits for EVA

While the space walk is exciting, astronauts have to use the bathroom just like earth-bound folks. Water is hard to find up in space so they do the Green thing – astronauts recycle their own urine.

The International Space Station has a water recovery system that recycles urine to create safe drinking water. Might sound yechhy but life is life everywhere even in space. The system on the ISS got some new parts and they started making the upgrade right away.
