Intergalactic Gardeners | Compilation

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.

Can We Grow Plants On The Moon?

Keeping the Fungus Among Us In Space

[SecretRaginMan]

11:44
"As part of the Artemis I mission scheduled to launch in early 2022."

Yeah, about that . . .

5:12 - Mars surface gravity is 62% less than Earth's, not 62% of Earth's. It's 38% of Earth's.

"We can';t live off freeze-dried, pre-packaged food forever" - Hey, that's my basement-dwelling neckbeard diet you're disparaging, sir.

[evelynlamoy]

hopefully our future space missions are significantly more solarpunk. More plants in space sounds like a good thing to me.

[PrincessTS]

I cant get the beastie boys song out of my head while watching this episode.

Flagging this video as needing (not just auto-generated) subtitles. Please help us hard of hearing and deaf folks access your content!! 🥰🤟🏻

[NullNoxproduction]

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. 👏🏿💯

[RantingThespian]

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.

[Beryllahawk]

Fantastic :D
I love the idea of huge space gardens. To quote Anne McCaffrey, "the fruited plane Above"!

[NeonsStyleHD]

Intergalactic infers travel between galaxies, not just space travel!

[SpazzyMcGee]

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.

[PSwayBeats]

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

[threedividers]

12:18 looks like an illustration, but the caption "leafy greens growing on the ISS" implies it's real.

[rextalon]

SO glad to see you back in front of the camera, Caitlin!

[mathieuleader]

Makes me think of Gen. Triester from Venture Bros. wanting to become a humble farmer of space bacteria

[EchoeOne]

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?)

first interstellar crop: lettuce
second interstellar crop: devil's lettuce
third interstellar crop: funyuns

[michaelh.sanders]

love to see how we plan to grow wheat, corn and rice on Mars

[candycemonroe]

I really have to ask.. did the fungus with the gamma radiation turn green and yell "smash"?
