Gordie’s Midday Gossip - Space Poop Challenge

NASA is offering $3 million to anyone who can create a solution for 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 more. The chosen technology will be put to use on future space missions and you will walk away with 3 million. You can submit at lunarecyclechallenge.ua.edu
