the album, not the movie
That should please the 'Rats
how can they build this when we haven’t built it for them to steal yet?
Remember how proud we were when Americans walked on the moon? Remember the boost in America’s confidence? The technology spinoffs?
China is doing that.
Our NASA director says that the goal of NASA is now Muslim outreach.
NASA’s goal is to eliminate the rich through carbon taxes and make sure that Muslims are not discriminated against. The secondary goal is to put a Hip Hop RAP musician into space to create a song full of cuss words and sex.
Imagine that. A Chinese restaurant on the moon.
there are no nutrients in martian soil...you cannot grow produce in a soil which has no nutrients whatsoever.
Is China still here after the Apocalypse?
Recently this country has been growing crops in congress. One party grows fruits, the other vegetables.
Bill Clinton is good with a hoe.
The American cowboy gave way to the petulant adolescent. "It's the [Fill in the Blank] Studid!" We're becoming a nation of know-it-alls who literally know less than nothing since virtually everything we know is actually wrong. We will still be around for a few more years, progressively neener-neenering ourselves into obsolescence.
Merry Christmas.
They'll still be hungry again an hour later.
Cheers!
...oh, and Merry Christmas!
When my kid was eight, I helped her with an original science project for school.
She attempted to grow cabbages in Lunar simulant soil which was supplied by a kind NASA scientist. After Apollo, vegetables were grown in ACTUAL Lunar soil returned to Earth. For some reason, which I don’t think was ever explained, the vegetables in real Lunar soil grew FASTER than the control vegetables grown in Lunar simulant soil created from Earth samples.
The original part was that we made asteroid simulant soil. We chose to create carbonaceous chondrite soil since that is the most common type of near Earth asteroid.
The cabbages grew just fine in Lunar simulant. However, the asteroid soil had too many hydrocarbons in it. It was like trying to grow vegetables in asphalt.
She got a Blue Ribbon.
Great, ....so the next Chinese transport will take bees, then they will mutate into Martian Killer Bees and swarm every solar eclipse. Even space will no longer be safe....
(Asparagus will still take 2 years to grow...)
And you thought getting fruit cocktail from China was a novelty.
Coming soon to a Walmart near you - fresh veggies from Mars and Moon...
Not to worry, I am a meat eater and figure cows eat enough grass to cover my veggie needs.....
Green Mars, part of a series of novels some years ago, terraforming over a two hundred year cycle.
The Chinese can do it. They can initiate a chain reaction that can given time start an atmosphere. As far as nutrients there is ways to get around that. Microbes can feed off of almost anything, just need the right ones.
