RE: Farming on MARS: Challenges and the existing technological options - Colonization of MARS Series

in #mars7 years ago

Hydroponics is an area of interesting developments. I suspect lower gravity would reduce the force needed to move water around quite significantly. It might also make non-soluble nutrients a bit different to deliver.

When water evaporates quickly, it can spike nutrient levels in a normal tank, with reduced flow, this could be another problem to watch for.

Or a boon.

Has anyone got a low-gravity lab I may use to grow some experiments?

I will ask around! :D
Welcome to my series and welcome to Steemit, I guess you are newer here. Just let me follow you, so I can read about your developments, in case you will find such a lab :)

If you mean follow me on a run, I'm leaving in 10. If you mean in the lab, I'm more of a tech than any kind of trained scientist. Not that I have a tech qualification either.

I would just REALLY like to play with gravity now, thanks to your writing.
