🚀Imagine living on Mars for several months, with Earth supply rockets getting farther and farther away, and all your food having to be grown yourself... Does this sound like a plot from "The Martian"? But this is already a real challenge NASA is working to overcome! Recently, the research team at NASA Kennedy Space Center developed a super practical cutting-edge technology: they created a biological regenerative life support system called Bioregenerative Life Support Systems (BLiSS). It directly processes astronauts' "human waste" (urine + feces) into nutrient-rich liquid, which is then poured into simulated Martian soil and stirred for 24 hours, turning it into super fertile soil suitable for growing vegetables! The process is incredibly amazing: First, it uses a bioreactor to convert wastewater into a nutrient-rich liquid; then it reacts with Martian regolith, extracting the minerals that are otherwise locked away, releasing key elements like sulfur, calcium, magnesium needed by plants; at the same time, those sharp Martian sand particles are "weathered" into rounded, soft granules, completely transforming into water-retentive, breathable healthy soil!
