Actually; sweat, urine and wastewater
Bigelow Aerospace's inflatable modules will use a new take on recycling - turning the crews sweat, urine and waste-water into fuel for the modules Forward Propulsion System using power from its solar panels. Also an advantage is that this allows their stations to perform attitude control maneuvers without having the usual toxic propellants on board.
The hydrogen/oxygen thrusters were developed by Orion Propulsion, which is now owned by major defense contractor Dynetics, Inc.
