Let me preface this by stating that I believe that some of the things that are done by NASA are a waste of money...but then again Government is in the business of spending other people's money and not making a profit. I'm going to guess this was cheaper than sending a guy with a shovel.

Water (H20) + electrolysis = Fuel for fuel cells (or other "propulsion" units).

How much and how to do it...dunno. That's for the guys with the 500-pound heads (with an armload of tax dollars).
