It will be on again at 1:30am and then tomorrow during the rerun (8:30pm I think).

Dean did talk about FIRST in his first episode- the fact that Dean and Colbert continue to work together shows Colbert's interest in what he's doing- which hopefully will move into some kind of media endorsement of FIRST? Hey, I can hope.

The water system is pretty neat. I was at an event in NYC where they had a machine running- with HUDSON RIVER WATER! For those of you not familiar with the hudson river- you're lucky. It's gross, to say the least.

I tasted the water that came out the other side. It was the best water I have ever had. Ever, ever. The machine is great and the potential for impact on third world communities is amazing.

I watched it but I didn't see Dean. Colbert had some lady on whose name escapes me. I don't know how I missed it.

After eating all of those Doritos, I could go for some Aqua Colbert! :D

I'm happy Dean didn't talk about FIRST, possibly wiping out 50% of all disease on the planet might be a little more important....

But is it economical? I'd like to know how much one of those costs...not to mention how it works! We'll probably never know...

I think it is less than a thousand dollars, which isn't much considering the positive effects. After all a thousand dollars isn't much more than a video game bundle.

Wow, if it is less than a grand that is amazing. Especially considering the value of them and the relative cost to wells and other ways of getting water. I am interested in how much fuel it takes to run one and how economical it is to require the burning of some fuel to produce water. While water is essential to life, it does not mean that these people who need these the most have the money and access to fossil fuels.

According to estimates a few years ago, the water purifier alone was over one thousand, with several more thousand for the stirling engine.

I think we'll know, soon. Dean's team has been working hard to get cost down. $1000 is too high -- they will do much better.
