??? NASA Wants to Clean Up Poop on the Moon NASA has announced a competition for the best way to dispose of 96 bags of feces left on the lunar surface by astronauts during the Apollo missions (1969–1972). These bags, containing excrement, urine, and vomit, were left over from six expeditions (Apollo 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, and 17), which collectively lasted more than three weeks. Disposal was not possible due to mass restrictions, but the agency is now offering $3 million for the best design for the safe removal of biological traces. The scientific community is considering this issue as part of preparations for future lunar missions, emphasizing the importance of environmental responsibility beyond Earth. This applies not only to lunar cleanup but also to compliance with international space regulations, the protection of extraterrestrial environments, and the development of an ethical framework for the exploration of other planets.
