"NASA is clearly looking far into the future for a way to handle both human waste and a need for fuel on either long space flights or when attempting to colonize another planet."

Surely NASA is aware of the Second Law of Thermodynamics. Wait....I'll take that back. I guess that if your mission is Muslim Outreach and the Global Warming Religion, minor details such as the Laws of Physics aren't critical.Algae don't simply convert carbon dioxide into fuel. They USE THE SUN'S ENERGY to make the conversion. The energy has to come from somewhere. Someone needs to tell these dudes that there ain't no sunlight in a space ship.
