Показать описание
Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden in collaboration with Moonlighter Miami presents its efforts with makers across the US to design new ways to grow edible plants aboard spacecraft. A part of Fairchild's partnership with NASA, the Growing Beyond Earth Maker Contest welcomes makers of a range of ages and skill levels to conceive and create new growth chambers to influence the next phase of space crop production! Meet the finalists of Year 1 of the Maker Contest and stay tuned for announcements about next year's challenge.

This is just /excellent/. I'm so jazzed to see the cooperation between kids (of all ages), Makers, and corporations, as well as the government working on tech that can help humanity in the very long term (becoming multi-planetary) the mid term (improved living conditions on ISS) and the short term (growing food indoors here on earth). I've been involved in that last one in the open source arena and I really hope more people will take the time to learn what is possible (it's AMAZING what you can grow! I'm eating lettuce I grew in August in SoCal!) and where we need to improve (monitoring and controlling conditions, automated planting, harvesting, etc...). Thank you so much for doing this, and while I won't enter, if I can help coach, share, answer questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
