Hot shower or a quick splash at the lavatory is something which the astronauts can just dream of. Once on board the International Space Station, spacefarers are in for a steady diet of sponge baths using water distilled from, among other places, their crewmates breath!

The system could be used at a wilderness research station or on a ship, for example. "The Navy has talked to us about using it on submarines," Hutchens said. "Any small remote area where you would need clean water could use this system."
