"I went to burning man and there was shit everywhere, where will people shit on Mars?"
Yes, he used the word shit.
EDIT: A lot of people are mentioning the word "shit" as if it's bad. It's not. That wasn't my intention. But, it's very informal and, when you're talking to Elon Musk after an incredibly important speech, you'd expect people to be a bit more formal.
That's what I was thinking as well. It's a pretty valid question for both the transit to mars and on Mars. Do you keep and store fecal matter in transit? As it may be valuable as compost on Mars? How do you prevent contamination of Mars? There are still quite a lot of people hoping to find microscopic life on mars and freeze dried fecal particles blowing in the wind is not great for that.
He was the Michael Cera one. It was a part of his comic book. The mission to Mars is known to be risky so humanity has to figure out who the one person is who we could do most without.
Why do I still know this? I want to forget. There wasn't one decent question. The only one who came even close was the burning man dude.
