This couldn't be that different from using water-just makes for better headlines.

I wonder what kind of technology NASA uses in the International Space Station or Space Shuttles to process the urine etc. of astronauts or cosmonauts. Do they recycle or process or dump in the space or bring it back on Earth. neither; now they use it to warm relation with muslim nations.

Drink more beer and don't get caught peeing off the side of the road. For women, good luck on your aim.

Well, this is certainly a good thing, but, it's something we could have already been doing as well as many other things. They're a little behind the 8-ball!

"Pee baby, pee! I wonder how many miles you'd get per case of beer?" LOL! This should be the new anthem coming from the Tea Party and Coffee Party people! YEAH! LOL! Seriously though, it's good, a good idea and something to work with. You can make drinking water from it, you can drink up to a quart or a pint of it in an emergency, so why not recycle it better and use it as a fuel. Might as well!

Hmmm...It's sure going to look funny when men grap their hose and nozzle to fill their tanks. Wow...the visual!
