China prepares to grow vegetables on Mars: State media

[qwerrty]

data are published on many scientific journals. only cost a few bucks to subscribe lol

 

[funtoosh]

thats becuase the china has become to polluted?

questions, are you going to claim moon

 

[danger007]

Learn something about space exploration. Xeno-agriculture is crucial for humans to colonize other planets, unless you plan to ship food constantly to mars?

Did i said any thing against the article? Huh and you got one thanks for it? lol... I said it is crazy....

Only sensible post.

Has any other one ever watched any series or documentary on space travel with realistic and near future technologies. I am not talking of Start Trek etc.

BTW @ topic

I don't think they will disclose these simulated conditions.

Its a major step for country like China who are solely planning for Moon and Mars base in near future, may be not in one or two decades, but after 3 to 4 decades, I think these studies started right now is according to Chinese space development.

Moon base is already a economically great investment.

Well there's a book called " Physics of the Impossible " and a TV documentary series based on the same book with the same name both written and hosted by " Michio Kaku " ... Very interesting but still I dont think it deals with some technology that may be available to us in the " near future " but yes they are indeed " realistic " ( possible and do not violate any laws of physics ) ...

They may not disclose it but I think these information are freely available on the Internet - both on common websites and scientific journals - not to mention the close collaboration between different space agencies ...

Well unlike us , these countries plan for very long term and no one needs to confirm that they dont get the benefit ... US was experimenting with alternate propulsion methods as early as 70's ... Just think when they got the " stealth aircraft " operational and how long is it taking for the rest of the world ...

Yes , think of all the exotic minerals and substance we can mine from there So , we dont have to fight on earth for resources , they are a plenty on moon , other planets and my favorite asteroids ...

Mate , let me tell you " there's no hope for an idea that doesn't sound absurd at first "

Every idea sounded crazy at first to people ... That day is not far when humans will be able to " grow organs " in labs and transplant them ( this technology is available even today but only for a few not-that-important body parts ) , put humans in suspended animation , prescribe customized drugs for a person with extremely narrow side effect profile if any and of intense effectiveness , send nano-bots to repair our body damage , transfer our memories and thoughts to a computer and vice versa and who knows even put a stopper to death ( cryogenic preservation or cryopreservation of human bodies so that they may be revived in future is one of the methods ) ...

What a pathetic idea.

If someone goes to Mars. He/she would think of mining minerals or gold or other valuable resources, but only Chinese can think of growing vegetables. See what CPC has made that to ordinary Chinese

LOL do you seriously love to make yourselfe look stupid in every post,dont you think is it a good idea to sort out your food supply first if you are intending to stay for weeks to do some mining ?

Oh there are hundred much better ways to Greenhouses than growing vegetables.

Now you are making you self look stupid. It is extremely costly to transport humans to Mars. The though of the day has to be finding cost effective ways to transport humans to Mars, such as finding new transport technologies to escape earths gravity. The rockets that we use are essentially 60's technologies and we require a new one. People should think on ways to reach Mars before thinking of other nonsense such as growing vegetables.

My good man, if you read the article you will understand that the purpose of green-housing is to grow vegetables. The very first line explains that.

unlike you, some people think long term. being able to grow food is a step towards long term settlement of mars

The problem is you people think too long term
