Moon may not reach you, but you might get a restroom on it: US Space Agency announced last week that it is seriously preparing for a return to landings on the moon in 2024, and even to set up a permanent research station there to be manned by a team of international researchers for extended stays .
The agency is preparing for the fateful day to the smallest details, and is now offering a $ 35,000 horsepower for those who will design a service system for astronauts on the moon. "Our space stars on the moon will eat and drink and they will have to vacate while inside and outside their suits. So we are asking the public for a facility that can work under both gravity and moon gravity conditions (about a sixth of the Earth)."
"We currently have services at the International Space Station but they are only designed to operate under conditions of gravity and we are now looking for a new product that will have two capabilities at the same time," the space agency added. In exchange for the new invention, NASA will not only pay to the developer, but also international credit and the announcement that this product was chosen by the organization's research teams as well as a special certificate.
