On water reclamation:
> On the Mir space station, this used to happen organically. Collecting water was a grubby job that involved chasing beach-ball sized spheres of condensate around the colder parts of the spacecraft with trash bags before they could climb into the walls and cause mayhem. Crew members spent three to four hours a day on this dirty and difficult task.
That sounds, frankly, horrible.
It made me think that the average space module probably smells like moist, reheated ass, too.
