“Lab-grown chicken” is not chicken. It’s trans chicken: a mass of cells that identifies as a chicken.

They should check in with McDonalds to find out how they make their slurry for McRib.

> it costs so much to send astronauts food on the ISS

Doesn’t the same total mass still need to be sent up in the form of water and CO2? Plants don’t create food out of nothing.

If humans want to go to deep space the mass balance and for living space, feed, water, waste management, oxygen requirements due to physics will not allow for the taking of livestock. We will have to cultivate food and will also have to recycle every atom of our waste products into more food and water. That’s just how physics works we sit in the bottom of a huge gravity well.

Well, tell the European Space Agency to get their personnel and their hardware together and send them over to Space X for transport.

With a primarily Carbon Dioxide atmosphere, all they REALLY need is some dirt.

Mars has the Sun, a CO2 atmosphere (And what s the "by product of all plant life ?)

I don't know why they're using the word "lab" in this report
