🎥 LA CULTURE SPATIALE – SPACE FARMING 🚀🌱

✨ L’agriculture sur la Lune, c’est l’avenir ! Qui aurait cru que la terre lunaire pourrait un jour nourrir des astronautes ? 🌙🍅

🤔 À votre avis, peut-on réellement cultiver sur la Lune ? 🌑

🌙 What would you grow in a moon garden?
We imagined a greenhouse in lunar orbit—not one for survival, but one for presence. Coleus for color, mint for scent. Butterfly pea for blue tea.
Even in a place like the moon, there might be room for a little color, a little comfort, a little life.
A quiet exploration of how imagining life beyond Earth can bring us closer to it. ❤️

🚀 Would You Eat Mushrooms in Space?
They grow fast, use almost no water, and give you vitamin D. SpaceX is testing mushroom farming in orbit. Tang and astronaut ice cream are looking pretty good right now.

A game full of cozy cosmic chaos that cant be played wrong.

From #SpaceFarming to STEM education: Grace Crain-Wright is making science exciting! 🌱💡

As part of the European Space Agency’s #MELiSSA project, she tackled a wild challenge: growing plants using human waste-derived nutrients (yes, really!). Her research at ETH Zürich helped shape the future of sustainable space travel and circular agriculture on Earth.

Growing safer spuds: removing toxins from potatoes

Scientists have discovered a way to remove toxic compounds from potatoes and tomatoes, making them safer to eat and easier to store. The breakthrough could cut food waste and enhance crop farming in extreme environments, like outer space.

Plant food could be grown on the red planet: Mars has no nutrients or organic matter, so there’s no real soil in its regolith, but tomatoes, peas & carrots might grow well if housed in colonies with greenhouse-like structures to protect them: https://doi.org/10.1038/d41586-024-03345-x #spacefarming
