    Isn’t dirt on Mars the same as Earth? After all, they’re both space dust.

    Did they plant and harvest those crops while listening to classic disco songs from the 1970’s?

    NASA was able to produce the purest drinking water on Earth from astronaut’s urine back in 1967. The NASA psychologist could not convince the program candidates to drink it!

    So that big black hole is where all the politicians end up? Came from? It’s a mystery.

    May the record be with you as it is with the free. And gesundheit.

    So, Mars has the dirt, now if it only had a breathable atmosphere, water and weather suitable for growing it might be almost 1/10th as good as Earth.

    Recycling the water from their urine is one of the reasons the astronauts drank TANG on the early space missions. It helped hide the taste from the chemical filters.

    Urine water and poo potatoes. Not a great recruiting incentive…

    Incorrect. 30 Billion times the mass of our sun. The size is still zero. The diameter of the event horizon is about the same as our solar system, still not 30 billion times the diameter of our sun.

    I thought Martian soil was toxic. Did the simulated Martian soil have the toxins removed, or what? Did the soil makers not know about the toxins? Or what?

    Why don’t they try to row crops on some places like the Sahara desert, that would be more beneficial to our earthly population?

    Mars soil is one thing. What about the atmosphere? If we want to live under the sea, e need gills?
