Guardian - A sci-fi-inspired spacesuit that recycles urine into drinking water could enable astronauts to perform lengthy spacewalks on upcoming lunar expeditions.The prototype, modeled on the “stillsuits” in the sci-fi classic Dune, collects urine, purifies it and can return it to the astronaut through a drinking tube within five minutes.The suit’s creators hope it could be deployed before the end of the decade in NASA's Artemis program, which is focused on learning how to live and work for prolonged periods on another world.
