How many tons of trash has NASA uploaded to the Internet?




an astronomical number most likely...


on a daily basics.


total that in a year....a lot of fuckin garbage.

"Orbital ATK's Cygnus cargo vessel was released from the
robotic arm on the International Space Station (pictured) after
being packed with rubbish. The spacecraft, together with its
cargo of garbage and human waste from the space stations toilets,
is due to end its journey by burning up in the Earth's atmosphere
Once the spacecraft reached a safe distance from the space station,
its engines were due to fire twice, sending it on course for a fiery
finale in the Earth's atmosphere."

I'll admit, I'm a bit surprised.
I had thought that they recycled all organic 'waste'
to save the huge cost of energy to put stuff into
orbit.
If out sewage treatment plants on earth can make it 'pure'
why can't they up there?

What is Internet trash causing?

The key phrase above is "on Earth".

A lot of the ISS water gets recycled, but solid waste recycling would 
require a very hefty amount of physical reprocessing plant, which is mass 
that is very expensive to lift to orbit.  And there is also the problem of 
air pollution in a spacecraft environment and/or disease transmission.

A lot of the waste cargo is also from packaging, which again would require 
mass devoted to recycling of, e.g., plastic.

As they already have an empty cargo vessel with no other use (no re-entry 
shield, for example) they just put the waste inside and let it burn up.

Yes.  Thanks.
I had a bit of a "Duh!!" moment.
At the ISS they are doing experiments with plants.
Not yet the space farming to feed a conony (smile!)

Yes, I've no problem with that.  But save all the water etc.!
