Smart.

Pay someone $3M to research and design it.

It would probably cost NASA $30M to design it...

Two questions…

1. Why now? Seems this ‘opportunity’ is not new.

2. Why $3M? The $1M and $2M ideas stunk? Poo pun intended.

Figure out how to compress it and use it as a heat shield for re-entry.

Could you use a big magnifying glass to focus sunlight to burn it? Would it even burn in the moon’s atmosphere? It’s a crappy situation.

Well, not so fast. The way this will probably go is they’ll award someone $3M to design it, then the cost for the device itself will be another $30M on top of that.

NASA is offering $3 million to anyone who can invent a way to “recycle” dozens of bags of poop astronauts left on the moon more than half a century ago.


Yet with NASA's yearly budget you'd think they would have figured this out 50 years and a Trillion dollars ago.

quote:

The space agency wants to come up with a way to transform 96 sacks of feces, urine and vomit — ditched by Apollo astronauts to lighten their load — into water, energy, and fertilizer, it said.


Yea, this sounds like a priority. The script writers must have been laughing their collective arses off releasing that nonsense to the media.

Not yet finished with their bullsheet:

“NASA is committed to sustainable space exploration.


NASA is FOS These Luciferians and Freemasons continue to laugh at all of us. These pathological liars and actors are committed to nothing less than but fraud, LARPing and most of all ritual mockery.

there is not an atmosphere on the moon just some trace gasses and particles that come and go. So no, no burning (combustion). The moon is essentially in a vacuum.

I have no idea why NASA thinks this is a problem on the moon though…just eject it into space if they are so worried about it.

And pollute the Infinity of Space?

They could just create a huge fecal matter cake, stick a solar panel on it, then shove it in the direction of Alpha Centauri.

Pack that shite into a container with random letters, numbers and symbols on the container. Bkasybit off into space and hopefully one day some advanced life form out there will find it.

They will then spend the next 500 years trying to decipher what it is.

I was wondering the same thing when I posted this thread yesterday. I mean… its space.
