Space Mechanics

Tell us what you think about today's top story!

The experiments astronauts conduct in space can impact life on Earth. The new water filtration system being installed on the International Space Station, for example, could change how we get our water. What ideas for other eco-experiments do you have? What would you research in space if you were an astronaut?

Do you actually drink urine?
Ithink that would be gross.

sincerly,

How do you turn urine into drinkable water?

I would research about how we would be able to life on Mars and reasons why we can't. I think we can't live on Mars because if there was a hole in the ground filled with magma and covered in dust we wouldn't be able to see it,so we would fall in. Another reason I think we can't go to Mars is Because it might be to hot and the gravity might be too strong for us and flatten us. That's why I think we wouldn't be able to live on the dusty planet Mars.

i would reaserch the gravity.i would also try to study about mars. i would also study pluto and see how it is counted not a planet. the only problem is that i do not want to go to space. i guess if i did i would test out particles on planets you could go to.

I want to have one like that, so cool

[Jack]

maybe organisms????

I would try to think about life on Mars and how can we life a life on a planet where you can barely find water to live with. Even though its said that we would need to earths to fit our population. Anyway going back to the topic the discovery is very interesting to comment about.

How can he drink water in space? I have seen food for the astronauts for eating in space but I haven't seen water for drinking in space! I think it's hard to drink it because it doesn't like on the earth.
