Real-life 'stillsuit': Dune-inspired upgrade for spacesuits allow astronauts to recycle urine into water (phys.org)

Astronauts on spacewalks famously have to relieve themselves inside their spacesuits. Not only is this uncomfortable for the wearer and unhygienic, it is also wasteful, as—unlike wastewater on board the International Space Station (ISS)—the water in urine from spacewalks is not recycled.

This is a real-life stillsuit in the same way that a space shuttle is a real-life heighliner.
