Intergalactic Gardeners | Compilation

Gardening doesn't need to be a hobby just here on Earth. In fact, it might help life outside of Earth quite a bit to take that pastime to the stars.

    I'm pretty certain they did it to act as a disinfectant of sorts on the leaves or as a means of making sure they don't oxidize quick, though this latter really wouldn't make a huge bit of sense. I'm guessing they're wondering if the plants produced chemical abnormalities or if any transported bacteria might have behaved in a manner that would be toxic to our consuming them. The fact that they got the green light after already growing once and then doing that still leaves me confused, but idk, perhaps this is why.

    For the love of everything intelligent, make a torus space station with artificial gravity. Bit the expensive bullet and make it the norm. Then you can subtract long-term microgravity deterioration, and increase time doing science, travel farther, etc. etc. Do it!!!

    I was thinking that such an attachment could have been conceived for the plant growing at least so that the "growing up" problem wouldn't be a problem. Guess that wasn't needed though in this case. I agree with you on the torus idea though. Makes a lot of sense. Kind of the way they make all of those "warp drive ship" diagrams look. I was thinking it'd be good to just have a center ship fuselage that has essentially a cylinder spinning around that it'd be attached to. Do you have preferred style?

    Stick with the term, interstellar, instead of using intergalactic. As a species, we might be lucky enough to become an interstellar society within the Milky Way galaxy at some point. The thought of intergalactic travel is way too far fetched to even discuss, or consider, at this time. Please try to keep SciShow Space within reality.

    "Intergalactic" certainly has no real meaning here. Simple inter-stellar travel is not going to be a thing - even the nearest star is just too far. Could we build a colony on our moon or perhaps even on Mars? Yes, though those will be exercises in arrogance, just a way for us humans to brag to ourselves before said colonies are eventually abandoned.
