Once working colonies become a thing, any organic matter will be worth its weight in uranium.
And perfectly sterilized by radiation.
Ian MacDonald has a great science fiction trilogy. The first book is 'Luna: New Moon."
Does a great job of worldbuilding along with pushing a sweeping saga.
pushing
LOL, good one!
By Grabthar’s hammer I swear that was an inadvertent pun.
“You’ll just have to hold it 'til we get back.”
Gets real stinky in those space suits when you shit liquid.
No shit?
Poopin on tha moon 🎵
I heard that in my head to the tune of Infected Mushroom’s “Walking on the Moon”.
Are there gaseous clouds around Uranus?
It’s full of organics, I’m sure it’d be valuable on the moon for growing things.
We dont fertilize our agriculture with human waste as is, there are far too many diseases and such to be transmitted. I believe the north koreans are doing this, and are often suffering from parasites and disease transmitted this way.
To use it on the moon they would need bioprocessors first that break down the waste thoroughly
Just put it outside for a while; it’ll freeze-dry and get sterilized.
(I didn’t come up with this insight; I heard it in a video analyzing the plausibility of The Martian.)
Add in some solar exposure and not much survives, from what I’ve read.
It’s a hell storm of radiation up there with no magnetosphere or atmosphere.
Yeah of course, but sterilizing it is going to be way way easier than bringing up dirt from earth.
Its perfectly possible to use human waste as a fertilizer, on earth you just need to compost it for around two years to make sure that the pathogens are gone.
As someone said on the moon the process might just be to leave it outside for a bit and you get a perfectly sterile pile of fertilizer
Any organic matter would be used.
Yes of course, not utilizing the resources in the waste is entirely illogical in a zero resources environment. Just that we would probably run it through some sort of purification system first to break down the dangerous contents
You can’t use a plastic dalkron eliminator any more because microplastics.
Outhouse - sun shuttle
Solar biome ass…biomass
Well it’s not like there’s an ecosystem there to fuck up. The lunar surface should kill just about anything we could poop out onto it. And if the problem is how it looks, just dunno it on the dark side where China set up shop. They’re used to being a shitty government already.
We have the technology. Poop balloons
