      Hi Jessie,

      it’s not that water can’t go into space, its just really expensive to send anything up into space, around 20.000pounds a kilo.. So conservation of water is really important. So there is a very efficient water recycle system in the ISS and so most of the water is reused! IN Concordia Station here in Antarctica we use a simular water recycle system from ESA!
