Once working colonies become a thing, any organic matter will be worth its weight in uranium.
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.
“You’ll just have to hold it 'til we get back.”
No shit?
Poopin on tha moon 🎵
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.)
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
