Accuracy is important when you're complaining about the failures of other people.
It's pretty old and should have been on Linux a long time ago. Or is this just a flashback memory and inspiration about the availability not being just Win?
I remember reading that water is generated as a byproduct of the hydrogen fuel cells on board. And then the water vapour is also recycled and repurified back into the system. So it's a closed water system powered by solar energy inputs.
Of course, the machinery necessary for this loop costs x billions, but the particular molecules of water used in this experiment probably came out of the internal water cycle and didn't cost to get the water there in the first place.
Tissues can be hanged somewhere on a clip, water evaporates, is picked up by dehumidifiers of the spaceship, goes back to the water system and purified back into drinking water.
I guess they meant getting the drinking water to the space station in the first place. Water doesn't really compress well (unlike the hockey puck rag) and also weighs quite a bit so sending it up should be pretty costly.
There is a serious problem with HN when stories like this get so many up-votes. This story is against the site guidelines. There isn't anything deeply interesting in the comments.
Be careful. Many articles submitted to HN are just fucking awful articles, and we actually want contrarian viewpoints to counter the bollocks pumped out.
Banning Techcrunch, ExtremeTech (such a terrible website full of dreadful garbage), MotherJones and so many other shitty websites would do more to help HN than any karma modifications.
What's the story here?
