It’s poop in space!!
NASA is offering $3 million to anyone who proposes technology to solve an unusual problem: recycling feces and other human waste in space.
The space agency’s LunaRecycle Challenge calls on members of the public to propose a technological means of recycling astronauts’ feces, urine and vomit on the moon and during long-haul space flights.
There are currently 96 bags of human waste that were left behind on the moon by astronauts from the Apollo missions, and the aim of the LunaRecycle Challenge is to prevent adding to the stinky space stash.
Wowo!
