Dr Z(iegelsmichdt) on the Surgeon's phone line again, this time talking about whether its okay to drink the water from the PLSS (life support backpacks) and apparently it's okay but would 'taste like drinking from a garden hose', and they're also considering whether you can reclaim urine for drinking by using desalter tablets from the survival kit. "I don't think we have to go that far", they think. Another suggestion is trying to suck the water gun in case that gets some water out.
