Surprisingly STEM: Space Waste Engineer

As the saying goes, “one person’s trash is another person’s treasure” and at NASA, Annie Meier is that person! Annie is a space waste engineer working on technologies to convert waste into vital resources for human space travel. Trash can be used to produce important gasses and even water - commodities astronauts traveling to another planet can’t just pick up along the way.

It kind of is sad to think that only 2 out of the 4 will touch moon on this next one.
But it's a start.

So would you send a ship up with an arm like the one on the space station to collect the junk and if it is fuel use it up and pack the leftovers! What is reusable, send the pack to earth and what is not, by rocket, send it into the black hole which is sure to eat it up! What do you think?
