A Large Lodge Of Jupiter Fries, Please!

Have been reading virtually the possibility of growing vegetables on other planets? Saw a preview of that flick which starred Matt Damon, “The Martian” (2015), where he was growing stuff in a house where cipher grows. I dismissed the notion because it was a scientific discipline fiction movie. I hateful … it's “fiction”. Not science.  :)

However, in that place are only about scientists who are serious virtually pursuing this endeavor. Researchers desire to too accept been experimenting amongst plants growing inward soil similar to variety of dirt ane would abide by on Mars or Jupiter, for example.

As a non-scientist, I would non completely write off farming on Mars or Jupiter every bit an impossibility.  But I volition country the scientists were really smart inward choosing the murphy every bit the test crop.  As my slowly non-scientist sis amongst a green thumb once told me: "If you lot can't grow a potato, you lot can't grow anything."  :)
According to a 2012 BBC News report, nutrient futurologists are looking into the variety of nutrient nosotros may locomote eating inward twenty years.  But they are exclusively researching nutrient available hither on footing similar insects, algae, lab-grown meat, too sonic-enhanced nutrient (???).
Who knows? Fries from Jupiter mightiness locomote quite tasty. :) But I bet they'll locomote expensive.  :)
