Scientists Are Sending Cannabis Seeds to Space
The versatile cannabis plant could, some scientists think, one day be useful for lunar and Martian colonists. For now, researchers will subject its seeds to radiation in orbit and see what happens.
Seems fair. The seeds have been doing that to me for years.
Astronauts: we’re not high enough
NASA: we got you covered
Technically far out.
Cant read it, whats the article about?
the lead researcher thinks that cannabis is a hearty and resistant plant. it's ability to adapt makes it a great research subject. they singled out a specific species and want to see how the seeds act after being in space. they are hoping it could grow in zero g with only artificial light, since it's clear that it can grow in artificial light.
but ultimately the lead researcher wants to smoke weed grown from cosmic radiation. dudes lifelong ambition is Martian Weed.
Gotta love his ambition.
Carl Sagan would approve.
Well, only fair. The Martians brought Red Weed with them back in the day
I’m so happy, that rate from the start, the best scientists in the world are trying to figure out how to get weed into space and onto the moon, Mars, and beyond.
Awesome
sign me up! I'll test it!
