Some 370,000 flagelados (whipped ones) supported themselves and their families on relief wages of 30? a day -half the food allowance of a Brazilian army horse...
...near-perpetual cycle of food: use the pilot's wastes as food for algae, which will convert them into something edible, also consume carbon dioxide and make oxygen.
