The moon is not made of cheese and astronaut meals shouldn't be either. Space is hard. Why make it harder with inefficient and unsustainable animal products? Help us create a plant-based, spacefaring future. #NationalCheeseDay #veganauts #plantbasedspace

The project is sponsored by Lunaria One, an Australian startup that plans to grow plants continually on the Moon.

Cheers!

@naturesfynd's device "incubates and grows active fungi that are harvestable and versatile enough to make into several types of foods" – potentially helpful for sustainability and long-term missions.

Happy #NationalAstronautDay! Let us never forget all the pioneering (and non-consenting) animals in space.

"The exact orbital period remains uncertain, with estimates ranging from 400,000 to 1 million years."

[The Interstellar Vegan Society @VeganGalactic]

"The search itself took 15~20 million CPU-hours, and the catalog production from our 80,000 exposures probably took more than that!"

Some good news for a change! Bans galore.

Squid and #tardigrades are not human and not relevant. A forward-thinking agency like @NASA should know better.

Here's what the moon's "seas" looked like about 4 billion years ago when they were lava. It was also closer and nearly three times bigger in the sky.

Well put! "Space research generates knowledge, finds solutions to problems, and inspires people to humanize society."

"The breakthrough could allow up to 5,000 sq km of elephant habitat to be surveyed on a single cloud-free day." #asbelowsoabove

With 7 people on board, it’s hard to find space for a crew portrait…fortunately microgravity helps

[The Interstellar Vegan Society @VeganGalactic]

Promising "hydroponic growth chamber for use in microgravity...able to grow small vegetables...as well as water lentils or duckweed...like a miniature vertical farm that allows a very high yield in a small volume with relatively low energy cost." #plantbasedspace

We interview Christine Escobar of @SpaceLabTech. She describes the μG-LilyPond system the firm is developing. She also talks about how she came to work on spaceflight-related technologies. Enjoy!

This is Io in the shadow of Jupiter, imaged with Cassini's narrow-angle camera from a distance of 11.4 million km 20 years ago on January 5, 2001. The ring is the glow of Io's thin atmosphere interacting with the plasma environment around Jupiter, most strongly at the equator.

Laika the dog and Felicette the cat have statues too! RIP to all the pioneers.

Radish harvest 2 complete aboard the @Space_Station! Astronauts will need to grow their own food to supplement diets on long-duration missions to other planets. We’re learning how light conditions and variations in soil affect plant growth in space.

[The Interstellar Vegan Society @VeganGalactic]

A second crop of radishes is already growing in the APH. Astronauts plan to harvest that crop on Dec. 30.

Love this view!

[Everyday Astronaut @Erdayastronaut]

Today I witnessed the most insane thing I’ve ever seen with my eyes. Watching #SN8 fall from the sky, that slowly, & then seeing the engines relight... yeah... I lost my mind! Incredible work @SpaceX and @elonmusk. That was even cooler than I could’ve ever imagined 🤯 #SN9 next!
