        <description><![CDATA[I worked for North American Aviation back in the days leading up to the first Apollo flight. I was given the task of separating the solids in urine using centrifugal device however, that approach was discontinued.One of our team members produced the first prototype toilet for the spacecraft. I asked how he arrived at the shape for the seat and he replied that he had bought a 50 lb block of clay and sat on it and wiggled around until he was comfortable and kept slicing away to produce the most minimal surface area (and lowest weight) that  still provided sufficient support. The yellow prototype occupies a special place in my office as a prime example of the often-maligned value of seat of your pants engineering.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I'm really taken aback by reading this wonderful invention. When I have read the title I was so much confused as to things like this is possible or not. After I have watched the Video I agree with Michael Flynn and his team. We know that in our world we use many products and filters , from many sources  aprilairehumidifierparts.com  to help us in attaining pure and clean water. In space this would be a great cost effective method to be implemented. I would call this a wonderful innovation.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Strange, now NASA is interested in recycling urine. I recall some months ago a story and video on NBC Nightly News showing urine being ejected into space (I don't remember if it was from the space shuttle or the ISS). I thought at the time-what a waste-that is our planet's water lost forever.  Why wasn't this returned to earth and sent down the sewer? Eventually, it would have entered the natural water cycle.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Potentially very interesting but, unfortunately, like virtually all of your little presentations, one comes away with the feeling of having learned almost exactly NOTHING.  COME ON fellows, put some MEAT into your videos.  Assume you have an audience that got beyond the third grade.  You might be surprised at the interest this could generate!!]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Very disappointing.The description of &quot;forward&quot; is too simplistic and does not distinguish it from &quot;reverse&quot; osmosis.  The significance of a working &quot;forward&quot; system could be tremendous, but entirely ignored.A reference to more information would have saved this bit, but no, nothing.Nice video, but zero added value.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I too work at NASA Ames. Over ten years ago there was an experiment running, I think it was called the Closed Environment Life Support System. It used pretend gray water and fed a fantastic hydroponic garden there were bags of fresh greens, lettuce, basil etc. after every weekly harvest.  Light, temperature and nutrient cycling were strictly controlled. We hated it when the study was over.  My kids, now adults, still talk about my Space Pesto.]]></description>
