It's the other brown meat....

It may have some role in future manned space exploration. Trying to remember from NOVA, but it's something like for every pound of the space shuttle (and the payload), it took 20X that weight in rocket fuel for escape velocity. Now, for missions to Mars or further, it's going to take a lot of supplies b/c there are no rest stops or NAPA stores in space. If they can reduce the food payload by some method, yaknow.... The idea may not be the nicest, and it has next to no purpose here on earth, but there is a practical side to it.

 

They actually already have a system onboard the ISS that recycles urine into water.
