A contractor working on the Orion space capsule, Hamilton Sundstrand, is asking for urine donations. It needs to 30 liters a day, every day, to test one of the support systems. Orion will be stationed at the moon for up to six months, sitting unoccupied and holding on to the "collections" it received on the journey there. The issue is "What do we do with all the pee?" Urine is acidic and full of solids, make it an especially foul problem. It will take a real "whiz" to solve this conundrum.
Anyone willing to donate?
