Mars mission astronauts will need to be farmers too...

Some studies are looking into the use of fish -- specifically tilapia -- as a way to recycle shower water, toilet waste and the water clothes are washed in. Tilapia eat human waste and are safe for human consumption afterward, said Vickie Kloeris, who manages the Space Food Systems Laboratory at Johnson Space Center. Some crew members are leery of turning urine into drinking water. But Kloeris noted that water-treatment systems on Earth do that already. "So in real life you are drinking somebody else's urine instead of your own," she said. "So I'm not sure psychologically which is worse. I think I'd rather drink my own." X|

I'd like scientists to figure out how to feed the world before they figure out how to feed someone going to Mars. Though, in the end, the answer will probably be the same. You say tilapia, I say shit. Marc VS2005 Tips & Tricks -- contributions welcome!

well if you think about it we already are eating our own poop and pee. Planet Earth is one big recycling machine, its not like human waste just vanishes into thin air. In fact you may right at this minute be eating a few molecules of a turd Jesus Christ laid down 2000 years ago :-)

-- Steven Wright:groan: That's terrible, but entirely factual. The important question, though, is if in fact you have eaten holy shit, are you saved? After all, the Eucharist is the symbolic consumption of His body and blood for the purpose of accepting His virtues and salvation for your own life. Are His waste products any less potent? Or are they just the remainders of the evils He cast out? Which will you retain if you consume holy shit, His virtues, or His demons? Inquiring minds want to know!;) "...a photo album is like Life, but flat and stuck to pages." - Shog9

"Inquiring minds want to know" was the catch phrase for all advertisements for the national Inquirer for many years. Although the use of advertising by the National Inquirer has gone up or down over the years, the phrase has been used so long that it is repeated often. _________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo de nezumi ga warau.
