Finally: Science Makes Suit That Lets You Drink Your Own Piss

There are two things I’ve dreamed of in this world: a Europe completely populated by Africans, and a machine that lets me drink my own urine.

This is a big day for me.

Everything is coming up aces.

The Guardian:

A sci-fi-inspired spacesuit that recycles urine into drinking water could enable astronauts to perform lengthy spacewalks on upcoming lunar expeditions.

The prototype, modelled on the “stillsuits” in the sci-fi classic Dune, collects urine, purifies it and can return it to the astronaut through a drinking tube within five minutes.

Was it really modeled after Dune? Or is it just sort of obvious?

The suit’s creators hope it could be deployed before the end of the decade in Nasa’s Artemis programme, which is focused on learning how to live and work for prolonged periods on another world.

The proposed stillsuit system comprises a collection cup of moulded silicone to fit around the genitalia, with a different shape and size for women and men. This is contained within an undergarment made of multiple layers of flexible fabric.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Men and women have different genitalia?

This is horseshit.

That sounds like something the writer of Dune would say. (He hated faggots so much that they couldn’t even make the film without it being like “wow, this guy really hates faggots.”)

The silicon cup connects to a moisture-activated vacuum pump that automatically switches on as soon as the astronaut begins to urinate. Once collected, the urine is diverted to the filtration system where it gets recycled into water with an efficiency of 87%. The system uses an osmosis system to remove water from urine, plus a pump to separate water from salt.

Collecting and purifying 500ml of urine takes only five minutes. In deployment, the purified water could be enriched with electrolytes and returned to the astronaut as an energy drink.

If the goal is to make it taste like an energy drink, you might as well just drink the urine straight.

The system measures 38cm by 23cm by 23cm, with a weight of approximately 8kg, which was judged to be sufficiently compact and light to be carried on the back of a spacesuit. The team are planning to recruit 100 volunteers in New York in the autumn to test the system for comfort and functionality.

It looks like they are planning some serious space walking.

Let’s just hope these niggers we’re replacing everyone with turn out to be geniuses capable of conquering outer space.

I once watched a documentary theorizing that this will work.

It seemed legit.
