    Next great step for humankind. "... and we're standing by now for the first consumption of one of these red romaine lettuce leaves ..." :-)

    This December, NASA plans to launch a set of packs, filled with a material akin to kitty litter, functioning as planters for six romaine lettuce plants. The lettuce will be grown under bright-pink LED lights, ready to harvest after just 28 days. Once harvested, it will be frozen and stored away for testing back on Earth. No one is allowed to eat anything before the plants are thoroughly vetted for cosmic microbes.

    Great!! The typical Dutch tomato differs from the typical Dutch cucumber only by its color, not by its taste, we all know this. In vertical farming I guess the next step to the UGV (uniform garbage vegetable) will be made. Perhaps now they only differ by its geometrical form, the color is the same for all vegetables, who knows??

    Point?? As a professional bullshitter I don't have a point. Just grouch, never critizise (freely translated from the Austrian principle "Nur raunzen, nie kritisieren!") :-) If I have sort of a point: I'd rather not try the vegetable they produce in this "vertical farming", Dutch experience was by far enough.
