Space2Oâ„¢ is the world’s first Space Water.

Space2Oâ„¢ is produced from a rigorous multi-step purification process that adds spaceflown electrolytes to enhance flavor and taste.

The result is a one-of-a-kind purified H2O with exclusive spaceflown electrolytes that provide Space2Oâ„¢ with an out-of-this world, refreshing taste.

Wow improved flavour and taste!

I’m sure glad they’ve improved water by adding sugar and salt that at some point has been out of orbit.

Some of it is funny in an incredibly sad sort of way; try out "A Boy and His Frog" for example. Ok, he was just a nerd who made a moderate splash in children's television, so what? But he makes his point in such a telling and poignant way that only a Vulcan (or an 888) would be left completely untouched.
