Astronauts struggling to turn urine into drinkable water

24/11/2008 10:39:00 AM.  | LIVENEWS.com.au
The NASA international space station has run into a messy problem.

The $154 million water recycling system hauled up to the space station, aboard the Endeavour last week has broke down again – for three days in a row now.

The system is suppose the turn urine into drinking water and it’s integral for expanding the station’s capacity from three full-time crew members to six.

Mission control thinks the problem is a kink in the motor – either way it’s disappointing to NASA, who wanted samples of the urine turned into water to test it’s okay for drinking.
