provenance PROCESSED — derived deterministically from source catalogues (unit, frame and epoch conversions, cross-source reconciliation) — no value invented

Open Excreted Astronaut Waste in the live scene → The scene composes a position for any date and is where a figure becomes a picture. It downloads the whole catalogue first: measured against the built product, an object outside the core resolves after about 16 s over a local network and about 147 s over a 4 Mbit link, having transferred roughly 70 MB. If you cannot wait that long, this page is the answer.

Each row carries its own uncertainty and its own source. Where a row says no uncertainty is published, that is what the catalogue says — it is not a claim that the value is exact.

Bags of feces matter, urine, vomit, food waste and other forms of waste which likely contain microbial life – largely stored within equipment bays of the Apollo descent stage. (Moon - Descartes Highlands) [A Profile of Humanity — P. Quast]
