"NASA’s Artemis I launch is a major step forward in humans going deeper and
spending longer in space than ever before.

Future Artemis missions plan to take crew to the Moon and eventually Mars,
which is likely to be a three-year round-trip.

But what will the astronauts eat? There are only so many protein bars and
vitamins one can tolerate and survive on for years on end.

Plants are the basis of life on Earth with their amazing ability to convert
light, water and carbon dioxide (CO₂) into food, and are the logical solution
to support humans in space."
