Today Kevin and I meet with Annalyn Connor is an undergraduate Aerospace student at the University of Central Florida, with a minor in Physics. Along with her fascination for space travel and sustainability, Annalyn hopes to preserve Earth by using knowledge from space missions and other planetary discoveries. She is currently conducting experiments at Exolith Lab using their Lunar and Martian simulants and believes that a sustainable and economical agricultural ecosystem is essential for the future habitation of other airless bodies. Her research involves the interaction of earthworms in Exolith's simulant regolith, in order to create a more fertilized soil for plant growth promotion. To enable life on the moon, Annalyn hopes to aid in a fully sustainable system that can use worms to break down astronaut secretion and food scraps, in turn providing nutrients for crop production.
