This is a great opportunity for promoting space exploration and utilization. Rely on people's squeamishness. These people who pay good money for bottled water rather than drink icky old tap water would be a great marketing opportunity for water that is guaranteed never to have been anyone's urine. Nor to have ever been part of a cockroach, maggot, worm, or slug. Instead of having a picture of a 32 degree glacier on the bottle, there would be a picture of a minus 400 degree Kuiper belt object. Or perhaps one of the countless trillions of ice shards that makes up Saturn's rings. If this trend catches on widely enough, it could result in rising sea levels, and flooding of low lying cities. The solution to this problem is yet more space exploitation. Launch our waste water into space. Perhaps set aside a "toilet planet". Or simply dump it into the sun, as has been proposed for nuclear waste. Imagine how exciting toilet training will be when pressing the flush lever causes a rocket to shoot up from behind the commode. -- Keith F.
