NASA's Perseverance rover spotted human trash on Mars, raising concerns about the risks of excess human waste in space.
Space is considered the final frontier for a reason. And, despite decades of studying the unknown beyond our planet, there’s still so little that we know. What we do know, though, is that the risk of human waste littering space and other planets is something we want to avoid as much as possible. That’s why Perseverance’s recent discovery of human trash on Mars has created so much conversation.NASA’s Perseverance rover on Mars.
For one, there are always going to be concerns around climate change that many believe humanity is pushing forward. There are, obviously, a lot of reasons behind the ongoing changes to our global climate, and humanity no doubt plays a part in all of that. That part that we play, has also raised some concerns about how our exploration of space could cause it toOuter Space Treaty
. This agreement essentially agreed that the exploration of space would be carried out for the benefit of all. It also said that we would avoid “harmful contamination of space and celestial bodies. Obviously, that includes not letting a bunch of human trash on Mars build up. But many argue that this treaty doesn’t say enough. And, with the recent discovery made by Perseverance, that could very well be true. Every spacecraft we put on Mars, or any other planet is going to leave behind some kind of trash. There’s just no avoiding it. However, there are steps we can take to limit the amount of trash we’re letting pile up.That shiny bit of foil is part of a thermal blanket – a material used to control temperatures.
