An American astronaut named Peggy Whitson broke the U.S. record for longest stay in space yesterday, so President Donald Trump called her to congratulate her. And she gave him a little too much information about how they make the most of their resources up there.
Whitson said that astronauts purify their own urine and turn it into drinking water. Trump’s response was classic Trump: “Better you than me!”
