That isn’t going to happen, according to John Warwick, chairman of the Department of Environmental Engineering Sciences at the University of Florida, who heads up an innovative new NASA project. No one’s going to Mars unless the payload of life-sustaining necessities can be dramatically reduced, he says. “When you go to Mars, you’re looking at being gone for a long period of time,” Warwick says, and it wouldn’t be possible to carry enough water, let alone food, to keep you alive. “There’s no way you can afford to launch the quantity of water that would be required.”The answer, he says, is to come up with the ultimate in recycling technologies. Everything will have to be recycled, from packaging materials to human wastes, both liquid and solid.
