Plant vegetables on the moon

American scientists are planning to grow vegetables like brussels on the moon in a life test on the planet.

The Paragon space development corporation in Arizona revealed plans to build a mini greenhouse on the Moon, which grows cold flowers and vegetables of cruciferous plants such as brussels or cabbage. These vegetables can be used to feed cattle. Paragon worked with NASA on a plan to build a 0.46m-tall space glass house.

Vegetables will be tested on the moon.

Under the plan, this miniature greenhouse will be put on space as early as 2012 by Odyssey Moon Ltd. Normally, mustard seeds turn into plants, flowers within 14 days, but when taken to the moon, they can complete their life in just one night.

Jane Poynter, Paragon President, said: 'Settling in the moon or Mars is a very far future but it is important that we start working on it now'.

The moon's greenhouse is compared to the Antarctic experiment, which has a low air pressure and negative temperature of 100 degrees Celsius. Currently, Antarctic greenhouses are 5 years old, allowing researchers to Here grow tomatoes, pepper, lettuce, strawberries and herbs.

With the retirement of Shuttle shuttle in 2010, NASA committed to implementing two new goals, that is, sending astronauts back to the moon in 2020 and launching a manned spacecraft. Mars in 2030.
