Shouldn't NASA offer a competitive prize for wastewater-recycling breakthroughs?
SpaceProjects.com — (archived)

Why doesn't NASA put up a competitive prize for such wastewater-recycling in such a small, strapped sort of environment?

NASA's budding experimentation with competitive prize offerings

I bet the Mars Society (or the Moon Society, or the Planetary Society, ETCETERA) could figure out how to do this affordably at a fraction of what NASA: JSC charges taxpayers. And now that George Abbey's officially leaving NASA, inertia's easier to deal with (especially with a cost-cutting, "MBA-Presidency" team in the White House, at least for the time being.

If there's a url / link to the sad story about the Mars Society's current funding challenges for this important water recycling endeavor, please post it and it will promptly be linked from the very top of NASAWatch.INFO.
