@PCOwen_a @CJHandmer Ah that's fascinating! If I remember correctly, Melissa used anaerobic digestion for the waste treatment compartment? Do you know if in the early stages of the design alternatives like electroperoxidation or pyrolysis were considered?

@PCOwen_a @CJHandmer Was this the MELLiSSA project? It was one of my original inspirations, but my view after reading some of the papers were that the selected approach seemed suboptimal. Would love to hear more details from you!

This seems reasonable after the landing, but my question was directed towards the journey. Assuming a payload of 100 tonnes, having to devote 7.5% to food is still substantial, without accounting for losses. A biological system would also do double duty for recycling oxygen, so might lead to quite a lot of mass savings.

A good slogan is critical for starting a movement - Make America great again - Yes we can - Time to build - No taxation without representation - Keep calm and carry on - Move fast and break things - Just do it - Workers of the world, unite - Think different The best slogan is one that gets stuck in people’s heads and represents one clear central idea

@sidravi_ @CJHandmer Yup, that's the idea. There are more steps to it though, converting waste into usable growth medium and converting microbial biomass into palatable food are both major technical challenges.

@TheEmissaryCo That would be an indication that the electorate is evolving in a positive direction.

@acorn I'm sorry, I don't understand the reasoning here. Air quality is a universal problem whether rich or poor.

@priyankchn @rahulsagar Reading Aurobindo's The Renaissance in India was my moment of awakening. It's truly remarkable how familiar much of it felt.

@sp3intermediate Love this book! Very fond memories of browsing through this instead of doing my organic chemistry homework in college.

@ATinyGreenCell My eventual life plan is to found a science monastery in the Himalayas to do research on local and circular manufacturing - figure out if small communities on Earth and in space can self-sustain an high degree of technological sophistication with minimal inputs

@benblumenrose @stripepress it would be very cool to see a reprinting of Condorcet's Sketch for a Historical Picture of the Progress of the Human Mind! It can be considered the first Progress Studies book written and is no longer easily available in print.
