The Space Sprouts demo is incredibly charming! 🚀 I love the unique gameplay and chaotic movements. I can tell the story has a lot of potential. Excited for when this game launches.

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.

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

Some useful payload for greenhouses 🌱 on #Mars 🔴 ? 🤔 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVcQp-WQbF0

Will future astronauts farm silkworms for food?

“According to mushroom growers and scientists designing future foods for astronauts, there are a lot of good reasons why fungi might make an important contribution to spacefaring humans' diets, from their nutritional profile to their ability to grow quickly in dark, confined spaces.”
