A brewery is making beer with recycled wastewater, purified using a process developed by NASA::The company relies on the same recycling methods that NASA uses to allow astronauts to drink water in space.

Coors never consulted with NASA though. They developed their own proprietary process which uses far fewer steps.

It’s like the old Monty Python joke. American beer is like making love in a canoe… It’s fucking close to water.

I also used to be heavily critical of NASA, but as it turns out, their innovations for space travel have had some nice unintended side effects for life here on the 3rd rock from the sun.

Water cycle here, water cycle there. So long as it gets the job done, doesn’t wreck the environment and doesn’t cost an arm and a leg, I’m fine with it.

So long as they name one of their beers unironically “piss” or something of that sort, anyway.
