"Much like terrestrial restaurants, future space-based systems will need to address food’s path from source to table, but with far more stringent requirements. This means meeting nutritional goals, easily producing food-safe ingredients in space, recycling inedible biomass and waste, and offering a culinarily delicious and culturally diverse menu."

New on the blog: a University of Turin study asked what will actually stop us growing crops on Mars. 🌽🔴
The answer isn't low gravity or the weak magnetic field – it's the soil.

🚀🌱 My latest Mission report has a plasma "Beam Saber" fertiliser inspired by Gundam that could grow rice on the Moon, NASA's poop-to-plant-food machine, a hyperspectral camera that spots thirsty lettuce before it wilts, tough desert moss surviving orbit, Hungarian seeds on a sounding rocket – and why astronauts might one day eat asteroid dust.

Lupins! In space! Starbase Brewing sent seeds of Texas Bluebonnets (Lupinus texensis) and other native Texas plants into orbit aboard SpaceX's new Starfall capsule on 23 June, along with dozens of yeast strains from around the world. They'll be analysing how the spaceflight environment affected them all. The brewery's longer-term ambition? Beer on Mars. 🚀🌱🍺
