        It gets recycled. Water is expensive to get to space and most their food is dehydrated.

          For context: everything that goes to space is worth it’s weight in gold… So a liter of water is worth ~$60k

              If you’re going to try ackshually-ing, you could at least be right. Even if you presuppose that “weight is force” (which, frankly, is one of those distinctions that people love to parade around to make themselves sound smart, but generally ignores historical, lingual, and legal contexts), objects in LEO are still attracted to earth with about 90% of the force they would be on earth’s surface.

              Unless you’re one of those loons who only call the reaction force of a static system weight, in which case may God have mercy on your soul.

                Maybe the phrasing “nothing in space” was off, but I didn’t mean anything close to planetary orbit.

                That said, you seem to have a chip on your shoulder about the definition of weight for some reason, and I’m kinda curious about that.
