- Gardening doesn't need to be a hobby just here on Earth. In fact, it might help life outside of Earth quite a bit to take that pastime to the stars.

"As part of the Artemis I mission scheduled to launch in early 2022."
Yeah, about that . . .
"We can';t live off freeze-dried, pre-packaged food forever" - Hey, that's my basement-dwelling neckbeard diet you're disparaging, sir.
hopefully our future space missions are significantly more solarpunk. More plants in space sounds like a good thing to me.
Unlikely NASA has said they want to avoid causing biological invasion that could kill potential local life.
I cant get the beastie boys song out of my head while watching this episode.
Intergalactic “plantitary” 😆
Yes, intergalactic
5:12 - Mars surface gravity is 62% less than Earth's, not 62% of Earth's. It's 38% of Earth's.
Our recent strives towards the stars are paying off, hopefully this information will pave a brighter future for humanity. ❤️ also great work and information as always. 👏🏿💯
Flagging this video as needing (not just auto-generated) subtitles. Please help us hard of hearing and deaf folks access your content!! 🥰🤟🏻
Oh my Quasars, it's CAITLIN! She's alive!
In all honesty, it's great to see you. I hope you've been doing well.
That was my reaction too! I love her enthusiasm!
Same!! So good to see her :) such a sunny person!
Fantastic :D
I love the idea of huge space gardens. To quote Anne McCaffrey, "the fruited plane Above"!
Intergalactic infers travel between galaxies, not just space travel!
That's an improper use of the word "infer".
I was just reading a paper about growing food from acetate without sunlight. That sounds like something that could have should have been included in this video, but it may have been to recent who had been included.
Growing algae and vegetables is night and day.
@@peanutbutterjellyfish2665 They grew plants, not just algae.
@@SpazzyMcGee1337 Efficiently. One percent is enough for algae. But not enough to yield, just sprout. Did you read the study?
@@peanutbutterjellyfish2665 Some of it. Most of it. I was trying to parse out how a chemical can supplant photosynthesis across such diverse photosynthetic life. Maybe acetate is skin to sugar within plants. IDK.
Fungus Amongus
9:44
ahahahahhaha, ok
12:18 looks like an illustration, but the caption "leafy greens growing on the ISS" implies it's real.
The plant will grow towards the light source no matter where it is that's all you got to do to tell them where is up
Fungus among Us. lol
Makes me think of Gen. Triester from Venture Bros. wanting to become a humble farmer of space bacteria
Fungus among us!
I'm literally shaking 😭
I really have to ask.. did the fungus with the gamma radiation turn green and yell "smash"?
Nah, it was really nice, smart, and handed me a couple tacos when I was sad.
SO glad to see you back in front of the camera, Caitlin!
5:16 Mars has about 1/3 of Earth’s gravity (or double that of the moon). Not 62%. People had already pointed this out under the original video and you haven’t bothered to update it? (Or at least take notes for future quotations/compilations?)
love to see how we plan to grow wheat, corn and rice on Mars
I generally enjoy your productions however this time they use of the term intergalactic annoys me unless I am mistaken intergalactic would refer to the void between galaxies and I don’t think there is any suggestion of growing plants there but please correct me if my definition of intergalactic is in error
Cheers
It’s just a fun name. Relax
first interstellar crop: lettuce
second interstellar crop: devil's lettuce
third interstellar crop: funyuns
can y'all please do a video on why there are no green stars? id really love that,
it would be a short video ..there is no green stars as they got smoked
Why did the plants need to be wiped down with citric acid?
To clean the leaves. Leaves work like filters in your HVAC unit. The cleaner it is the more efficient it'll work.
I'm pretty certain they did it to act as a disinfectant of sorts on the leaves or as a means of making sure they don't oxidize quick, though this latter really wouldn't make a huge bit of sense. I'm guessing they're wondering if the plants produced chemical abnormalities or if any transported bacteria might have behaved in a manner that would be toxic to our consuming them. The fact that they got the green light after already growing once and then doing that still leaves me confused, but idk, perhaps this is why.
@@dwaynewilliams3077 That doesn't make sense.... Use a microfiber cloth that's already up there. Why spend thousands of USD to send a consumable when a reusable would work just as well...
Nice among us reference
Meat is being grown in petri dishes. Maybe it's more efficient in space to grow fruits and vegetables directly and cut out the plant??
Imagine a block of lab-grown pepper flesh without the irregular shape of a pepper covered in skin with seeds and a stem.
whoa slow down, how about we get the hang of intra stellar gardening before we start talking about intergalactic gardens in Andromeda
Was just gonna comment this! ✌🤣🤣
any clue about growing animal proteans in space? how 'bout laying eggs?
For the love of everything intelligent, make a torus space station with artificial gravity. Bit the expensive bullet and make it the norm. Then you can subtract long-term microgravity deterioration, and increase time doing science, travel farther, etc. etc. Do it!!!
I was thinking that such an attachment could have been conceived for the plant growing at least so that the "growing up" problem wouldn't be a problem. Guess that wasn't needed though in this case. I agree with you on the torus idea though. Makes a lot of sense. Kind of the way they make all of those "warp drive ship" diagrams look. I was thinking it'd be good to just have a center ship fuselage that has essentially a cylinder spinning around that it'd be attached to. Do you have preferred style?
Why wipe the red lettuce with citric acid before eating?
Spank the Hank~
yech!
Amongus
making artificial gravity by spinning, gives humans nausia, but do the plants care, cus you said that they struggle because they have no gravity. Surely plants dont get nausiaus?
who's here after For All Mankind latest episode
Probably still best to take people who can get by on less calories.
Non GMO will be replaced with GOE Grown On Earth
And certain fungus is good on pizza.
Er no..... Planting flowers comes last... Oxygen, water, food.
Interstellar gardening, not intergalactic.
Stupid space joke why is Pluto so small
cuz it's Moon charon keeps belittling him
Caitlin should do this more often
For a while, I just assumed she left Sci Show.
@@RantingThespian look at the end credits. she's always been a producer.
@@keanubartolata3465 I know, that's why I said "for a while". When I read the credits at one point, I saw the name Caitlin Hoffmeister, googled it, and it was the same Caitlin that used to host Sci Show Space. Still, I missed her on camera.
any investors interested in growing weed in space?
What about building a planet. I guess you might as well triforium mars with added material
"Intergalactic"? You mean gardening between galaxies? Think Sci-show space need to go back to basics. Exo-gardening would have been a better description.
"Intergalactic" certainly has no real meaning here. Simple inter-stellar travel is not going to be a thing - even the nearest star is just too far. Could we build a colony on our moon or perhaps even on Mars? Yes, though those will be exercises in arrogance, just a way for us humans to brag to ourselves before said colonies are eventually abandoned.
Stick with the term, interstellar, instead of using intergalactic. As a species, we might be lucky enough to become an interstellar society within the Milky Way galaxy at some point. The thought of intergalactic travel is way too far fetched to even discuss, or consider, at this time. Please try to keep SciShow Space within reality.
And while intergalactic travel would be epic, if one galaxy wasn't going to be enough for us, something tells me nothing would be. I also agree with your comment regarding term specificity, it seems mundane, but the specificity really provides a nicety often overlooked.
If you people will watch a black screen and listen to your videos. You will hear an unintelligible forth or fifth word cadence starting to creep in. And all of you are starting to adopt this same cadence. It’s a mistake. I call it whispering video syndrome.
All compilations get thumbs down
Disliked because you said "humankind".
