Axiom Space is opening up new pathways to space that simply didn't exist before. It's exciting to see a resurgence in the interest of spaceflight!

During the first few years of Space Station operations we transferred the bulk of water generated as a by-product from the Shuttle fuel cells. But after Shuttle retirement in 2011 we had to bring up all of the bulk of the water, taking up a lot of space and weight in launch mass. The condensate system was also collecting humidity from the air for the entire life of the station, but that was a low percentage. In 2008 we launched and installed the urine and water processing system that cleaned up urine and grey water, allowing us to reduce our dependence on Earth. After about 6 months of testing the first (brave) astronauts tried the recycled water on a live stream (and reported it was great). At this point we are reclaiming 98% of the water on the Space Station to be recycled and used again. That's an amazing feat!

The following year, her father got his pilot’s license and Whitson took her first airplane ride. “Then I wanted to learn how to fly,” she says. To raise funds to become licensed, she went into business raising chickens with a little help from her mother. “She would buy the baby chicks and I would raise them and sell two-thirds of them, and she would freeze the other third,” she says. She also got a heifer and would sell its calves. “It took a lot of years of selling chickens and calves to earn enough money, but I did it.” (...)
