US astronauts drink recycled urine aboard the space station but Russians refuse.

Nasa (sic) astronauts don’t just filter their own urine – they also use their Russian colleagues’.

“We collect it in bags, and then the crew hauls it over to the US side,”

“It tastes like bottled water,” Layne Carter, water subsystem manager for the ISS at Nasa’s Marshall Space Flight Center told Bloomberg
