What about human body waste? Since it’s, or can be, toxic, wouldn’t that pose a problem to the traveling people? Just wondering.
Is it let out into space at regular intervals.
Wait till the environmentalist find out :)
I wonder where that waste would end up in a few hundred million years.
If one is hibernation, all your body functions operate at minimal levels so one is not producing waste.

NASA has already solved the problem human waste. Several years ago they contracted with the DNC and they collect all human waste and then resell it to the mainstream media.

From what I know, bears don’t get up and take a dump when they’re hibernating (that’s mostly due to not eating - trying fasting for a week and you also won’t be going #2). They likely also don’t use their other plumbing, as they can just breath out moisture.
But it will be INTERESTING when humans try it on earth, it’s almost like time travel in that they will barely age, but everyone around them will be a year older. Actually not a bad concept for people who are much older than their grandkids and prefer to see them after they grow up a bit.
I imagine you could put in a port for nutrition and similar “ports” for waste.
