Although NASA has sent or people on space, he seems to have no idea what to do with their "bad"…
So NASA will award 30.000 dollars to anyone who can solve the problem with the astronauts feces.
Astronaut Rick Mastracchio in a video asks us to "imagine a scenario where a crew on their way to the moon, encounters an emergency, when the vehicle begins to lose pressure in the astronaut cabin. The crew must quickly put on their space suits to protect themselves from the space gap. ”
"I can tell you that spaceflight is not always glamorous," says Mastracchio. "People have to go to the bathroom, even on a spaceship. How can this waste problem be dealt with so as not to harm them astronauts or even not kill them?”
As the spacecraft can no longer provide protection, astronauts must have a space outfit to provide "clean air, water, shelter and several nutrients to live in up to six days" until they can safely return to Earth.
But what if there are droppings in the outfit? What will happen if a lady astronaut has her period?
Feces in a spacesuit can expose astronauts to infection and rot. Despite the fact that NASA has the technology to send people into space, it still seems to uses an outdated technology with "diapers" to solve this problem.
The problem is that in conditions of scarcity gravitys, liquids can become an amorphous mass and stick to surfaces, while solids are suspended in the air.
"You do not want any of these solids and fluids to stick to your body for six days," says NASA, reminding how easy it is for babies to get diaper rash.
So if you have any one that can help NASA, the deadline for submitting applications is 20 December.
