Drink Urine

Celebrating the establishment of a closed loop water recycling system aboard the ISS, the astronauts drank water recycled from waste and ambient moisture.

In a Maldivian perspective, that sorta undermines the high impact value of the four-letter equivalent of the Maldivian profanity “drink urine”.

From a religious perspective, one may wonder if it is Halaal or WWJD or how other parts of the world see it.

In a movie enthusiast’s perspective, Kevin Costner already been there done that ages ago.

And once people begin to realise that the water they drink contains molecules from the urines/excreta of people and also other animals and plants and not some miracle water from the sky, and possibly accept it as fact, we might even start to see [your favourite brand] marketting bottled recycled urine in the future. And what more, it would cut down the cost on “mineralising” it too.

And to think, this was such a simple solution to shortages in the world’s most precious resource.

Bottoms up y’all. Drink to your health.
