On this week's episode we enter NASA's Veggie Lab and hear about their plans for growing plants in space for the ISS. This work prepares us to move forward to Cislunar space and then on to a sustainable food source at scale with Lunar and Martian Colonies. Get a sneak peak at NASA's plan to be able to grow and provide a diverse yet targeted supply of crops to sustain humans traveling the next stages of the final frontier. This whole trip was amazing, and if we hadn't seen rockets in person this would be #1. Thank you NASA Social!

You'll also learn how we first learned we could eat in space, what we plan to plant in space for the future, as well as our speaker Ralph Fritsche's thoughts on the Martian's depiction of growing food on Mars. 

Fun episode! Looking forward to a Boeing CST100 Starliner launch on Friday Dec 20th, 2019 at 06:36AM currently. Can be watched live at boeing.com/starliner. Go Commercial Crew! Have a great week space people! We'll see you right after Christmas with part two from inside the Veggie lab...
