35k for toilet design

“ NASA wants you to help put the loo in lunar, so it's offering $35,000 in prizes to design a toilet that can be used on the moon.

The space agency has set an ambitious goal of sending astronauts back to the moon by 2024 and the crew will obviously have to go to the bathroom during the mission.”

Some people ask for too much imagination.

Do your no.2 into a bag. Freeze it with liquid nitrogen if it's a bit squitty. Then pretend it's a golf ball and tee it off into space.

With a no.1 just widdle on the regolith. It'll be fine.

Obviously you need Earth's gravity for a proper "number two". So my design would have the toilet bowl on the end of a large centrifuge, like in that James Bond film, and once comfortably seated one would just press a button to set it, and your bowels, in motion.

Where do I claim my $35,000 ?

Or you end up with something like this?

In the space station, Pee is recycled using reverse osmosis. The part could be build into the toilet using a hand crank.

Having a pee on the Moon could be done outside for males. An zip airtight fly would facilitate this. The human body can withstand a vacuum however, as gravity on the Moon is 1/6 of Earth, plus there is no air resistance, having a pee would project about 10 metres by which time the pee may evaporate due to zero air pressure. It may look like a foggy cloud from behind a rock.

"Bonus points will be awarded to designs that can capture vomit without requiring the crew member to put his/her head in the toilet," the guidelines said.
