YouTube Description
as posted by the channelA 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? As Neil deGrasse Tyson explains to co-host Chuck Nice, garbage is forever… at least it is on Mars, where there are no microbes to break it down. 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.
