I'm a bit overwhelmed with assignments and will be going idle for a week or two during a coming round of tests. You can drop me a message on my User Talk page if you have any problems. I'll check it weekly. - Jarogers2001 06:39, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

If it is done every day down here, it can probably be done up there (with modifications)

Human Waste Reclamation as a basis for Agriculture and Manufacturing.

• Urine, feces, flakes of skin, toenails, hair, and other bodily fluids can provide a wealth of bio-materials with a minimum of processing. Reclamation of water is also necessary. Sounds disgusting, but we did it for thousands of years already.
• Passive sterilization by exposure to outside radiation.

Lunar Geology and Resources.

• KREEP, outgassing, and regolith, if harvested and processed, may cut down on the supplies required from earth.

Chemistry as a means of ISRU and Manufacturing.

• Chemistry will allow us to reduce lunar minerals into raw materials and finished products.
  • Examples:
    • From Ilmenite to oxygen via ilmenite reduction.
    • From KREEP to potassium phosphate fertilizer, nuclear fuel, and a variety of useful metals (Rare Earth Elements).

Biochemistry as a means of ISRU and Manufacturing.

• Biochemistry will allow us to process and utilize our own biological waste as well as make use of other organisms.
  • Examples:
    • Ammonia fertilizer from urine and fecal fluids.
    • Beer in a sintered cup sheathed in soy plastic.
