Moon Gardening
Reported in my gardening mag:"NASA is to try growing veg on the moon to work out if humans could live there. NASA says plant growth will be an "important part of space exploration in the future".
Scientists are planning to send small canisters of veg seed to the moon on a spaceship. The canisters will release a supply of water while scientists back home will monitor plants' reactions to lunar gravity and exposure to radiation."
(Long way to go to pick your brussels).

Perhaps when scientists have polluted Earth planet beyond repair, they will have somewhere else to start on.

Re: Moon Gardening
According to "Journey into Space" the Moon not only has gravity but also underground cities complete with gardens. Jet, Doc, Mitch and Lemmy were suitably impressed.http://www.over50sforum.com/album.ph...pictureid=3773
