6:49Now PlayingA fan wants to know about garbage in space: how would we dispose of it, and if we couldn’t get rid of it, what would happen to it?

Find out what it actually means to be biodegradable, what forces besides microbes could break down our trash, and the plausibility of alternate removal methods like Chuck’s childhood idea to shoot our garbage into the sun.
