Turning to an Unlikely Source for Astronaut Nutrition: Human Waste

http://insights.globalspec.com/article/7782/turning-to-an-unlikely-source-for-astronaut-nutrition-human-waste

Sounds like a Frank Zappa song.

“Microbial Goo”

I think the downside here is today’s astronauts can look forward to decent food, but after a six month trip to mars what’s new you’re going to find there? Nothing. What are you going to grow there? Nothing.

Too much nothing for me.
