Marigolds to Grow on Moon by 2015?!
Marigolds to Grow on Moon by 2015?!
The team says that marigolds could be grown on the moon, and they hope to do it around 2015. Working with the European Space Agency (ESA), the researchers have demonstrated that marigolds can be grown in crushed rock, without earth soil or its nutrients - similar to the moon's surface. picked by doggylives 5 months ago

Here's an idea. How about we stop trying to grow plants on a rock in space and try to solve the hunger problem here on earth?

I do everything in my power to KILL the d*mn things and NASA wants to grow them on the moon. Shouldn't this be in the WTF category instead?

Maybe they're setting up a place for us to bail to when human life on our planet is no longer possible.
