Would Lewis and Clark have made it to the Pacific if they had no fresh water along the way? The answer is probably no, because water is just as precious to explorers as it is to everyone on Earth.

That's why NASA is following several different but complementary avenues at four agency centers to develop dependable ways of recycling water [....] /quote caption class="photo" At NASA's Ames Research Center (ARC), Moffett Field, Calif., a water recycler enabling reuse for three years without resupply is being developed on a timeline to fit into exploration plans, according to ARC scientist Michael Flynn. A preliminary engineering development unit can hourly recycle 13.2 pounds, about one gallon, of waste into drinkable water. (Photo courtesy of NASA's Ames Research Center) /caption |
