The answer is probably no, because water is just as precious to

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)
