What do you do with all the sh^t?

Incinerate it at 600 or 800 Celsius; and recover the water; and distill the water if you are squeamish); and add the powder to your compost pile. Easy enough.  :;):

A NASA study has determiend that wheatgrass burns nicely to make activated charcoal which is needed to filter the waste gases from the above process. Grow wheatgrass in hydroponics, transform into activated charcoal and then filter the gases emitted from the waste incineration.

No big deal.

Rather than going we stayed circling the earth and it took almost another decade to get commercial space flight going.
