...lengthy space flights, fuel shortages may force astronauts to cut their missions short. But as long as they are aloft, there is little chance that there will ever be a shortage of one constant byproduct of manned-space missions-human waste. During a three-month flight, for example, a crew of three will produce approximately a quarter-ton of solid wastes. What to do with it? Seattle's Rocket Research Corp. offers a practical answer: process the waste and use it as a source of rocket fuel...
Minimizing Discomfort. According to the Seattle scientists, space-flight wastes will be processed in a blender, then stored in convenient tanks until needed for fuel to perform orbital changes, mid-course corrections, retrorocket firing and other maneuvers. Blending and transfer of MONEX W will be handled automatically "to minimize psychological discomfort"-as Rocket Research delicately phrases...

But the police figure that without the teen clubs to fuel the action, the excitement will cool and that the current riots are simply the death throes. Said one habitue: "As they say of good young bullfighters, 'If you want to see it, you'd better see it quick,' because the Strip, at least as it now is, may not be around...
