excerpt:
"Not to spoil anything, but I think up here the appropriate words are 'Yippee!'," space station Commander Mike Fincke told mission control early on Tuesday morning.

He supervised work on the malfunctioning water regeneration system - which distils, filters, ionises and oxidises wastewater including urine, perspiration and bath water, into drinkable water.

He reported that two rounds of modifications to stabilise the device's centrifuge appeared to have worked.

"There will be dancing later," mission controllers replied.

Ever drink water from a tap in any large town or city? Most have water purification systems. How many people do you think it's been through before you drank it?
