I also thought of micro greens as a perfect space crop but also sprouts; buckwheat and sunflower seed sprouts grown in trays and the many types that are grown in jars or sieves. That would provide the widest availability of condensed nutrients.
I just discovered your channel and I couldn't be happier. As a plant mom who LOVES science and space... this couldn't be more suitable for me. Thank you for making these videos. You seem like a wonderful person!
Certain mosses and algaes could be genetically modified to produce some of the missing nutrition. They grow much faster than garden vegentables, require less water, and could occupy the same volume of space. Some species could simply grow without a substrate if the chamber could produce enough ambient humidity.
Hi Summer Rayne - this comment is probably out of place but I wanted to ask you- with having so many plants in your Brooklyn apartment did you ever find yourself having days ....weeks....months where you were so overwhelmed with the amount of plants you have that you end up neglecting them? I love plants but I find myself going through chapters like that and then I walk around and say Oh No I need to get back on track haha I was just wondering
Ok, we are earthlings, if we go anywhere else, we will be Martians or Lunarians. We are intrinsically tied to our environment and cannot survive as we are anywhere else. @@natesofa

One of my favorite flowers, zinnias, were the first flowers to bloom in space!
Fun fact!

Spinach is the first one to come to my mind,, small and full of vitamine k, I guess they tried it alredy.
I wouldn’t scoff at what students may be able to discover
Maybe they should try growing food in Hollywood first 😂

Mankind does not belong in space. Simple as that. I consider it a fools arrand.
And it's impossible to live in a fairy tale. Ppl watch cartoons, animations etc. etc. from an early age..
why?? what's your actual point? you say it as if everyone should already know what you mean and what you're thinking... "simple as that" ...

Okay, but they're already there, and they will still need food while they're there.
