When will the US O2 generator be operational on ISS so we can compare?



Big laugh. There is no US O2 generator on ISS. There is a CO2 scrubber
in the US Lab but that died after a couple of weeks (it hasn't worked
in ages).

There is an O2 supply in the US Quest airlock, but that apparently is
out of order.

Basically, US ECLSS suffers from the same fate as a lot of other US
space technology, lots of systems engineering, great viewgraphs, but
the damned thing doesn't work.
