Can you drink your own urine?

Yes, but only in dire situations. Over time, the toxins flushed out by your kidneys will build back up through consumption, and make you ill to the point of kidney failure and death. I don't know why a person would be dumb enough to say drinking urine is "healthy." It's not.
You shouldn't drink it because it is a waste product and it is not good for you.
Yes considering you have bottle to pea in or a partner to swap serve urine back and forth with.. eww. Urine is 95-per-cent water and better than nothing in a pinch. There have been many documented cases of people surviving on there own urine in life or death situations. Some people even drink their own urine claiming many health benefits. If there are any other cleaner water sources you would want to consider them first. But if your afloat in the middle of the Atlantic or in a desert with no streams around then yes, drink your urine.

How do you survive in space?

Survival in space requires a pressurized environment, oxygen, and heating. None of these exist in the vaccum of space. You also need protection from the twin hazards of radiation and fast-moving micro-meteoroids.

In the manned space missions, a sealed spacecraft such as the Space Shuttle or the International Space Station can provide a shirt-sleeve environment that has everything except gravity. On long-term missions, astronauts must exercise regularly to keep their muscles and bones in healthy condition, because these bodily systems begin to atrophy in zero gravity.

For excursions into space or to the lunar surface, spacesuits take the place of a walled vehicle, but provide the same environmental supports:

- heavy materials to block radiation and small space particles

- heat exchangers to keep the interior warm but distribute the scorching heat from the Sun

- a pressurized inner suit

- the breathing apparatus that provides oxygen while removing exhaled carbon dioxide.

How much blood is needed for the human body to survive Can it survive on saline or any other fluid besides blood Am told blood transfusions are totally unnecessary-- true or false?

No one can live with out blood. Blood is the essential thing in human life. The average amount of blood is 4-5 quarts (liters) in female adult humans, and 5-6 quarts (liters) in human adult males. This is about 8% of total body weight. There are some experimental studies in the UK, where they exchange blood for a saline liquid at near freezing temperatures, in order to perform operations on pets that can last as long as an hour. It has not yet been tried on humans.
