Last Exit: Space is a new documentary on Discovery+ that explores the possibility of humans colonizing planets beyond Earth. Since it is produced and narrated by Werner Herzog (director of Grizzly Man, guest star on The Mandalorian) and written and directed by his son Rudolph, however, it goes in a different direction than your average space documentary. It's weird, beautiful, skeptical, and even a bit funny.
In light of the film's recent streaming launch, father and son Herzog spoke with Ars Technica from their respective homes about the film's otherworldly hopes, pessimistic conclusions, and that one part about space colonists having to drink their own urine.

See my journal article Do not drink urine to treat or prevent covid 19 [soylentnews.org]
Summary:
Thus is seems like a colony trapped on a generational ship, drinking each other's urine, would be an extremely healthy group!
Stupid people exist because nothing in the food chain eats them anymore.

The funny thing is that I am the only one who touches or uses my phone. Phones now are personal, like toothbrushes.
Furthermore, I rarely use my phone as a "phone" in the traditional sense of making or receiving a phone call. Sometimes, but not often.

Well, one part is right. Urine is absolutely just as effective as ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine.

It is funny that they believe he is still the president. Untethered from reality.
