3. The urine produced in space can be passed through a reverse osmosis membrane, and the water recovered..."gray" water is already being drunk in California. The urea can be recovered from an evaporite and sprayed on lettuce, collards, cabbage, arugula, spinach...( your leaf crops are already aerial sprayed with a light soapy solution this way from crop-dusting planes)...foliar feeding works best at sunrise when the stomata are open, and the soap helps water droplets wet the leaf surfaces more efficiently.
