Today, NASA engineers are still struggling to pick up where he left off. An interesting technical report that NASA prepared for the Space 2013 Conference and Exposition has recently been released. In it, we can find some of the latest, and oldest, ideas for a NASA-made nuclear thermal rocket that would take us back to the Moon.

Biosolids Recycling Program to Save $900,000 Annually
2014-12-22 22:59:53| Waste Management - Topix.net
Synagro Technologies says a five-year biosolids recycling program will save city of Toledo taxpayers $900,000 annually while improving water quality in the Lake Erie watershed by reducing the use of commercial chemical fertilizer. Toledo's biosolids will be used as a natural fertilizer on farm land, eliminating the need for more than 400 tons of chemical fertilizer, which has greater potential of runoff to rivers, lakes, and streams.
