Why Are Space Strawberries A Thing We’re Talking About?
In today’s edition of, “Why Is This A Thing We’re Talking About?”, we take a look at Space Strawberries, which is now a thing that we are apparently talking about.
Why are we talking about this thing? Well, PopSci reports that the Seascape Strawberry Plant can produce strawberries with as little as 10 hours of light a day, which is important, as interstellar grow lights consume lots of power – the shorter the amount of light they need, the better. The Seascape also produces gigantic berries, large enough to satisfy even the fattest of astronauts.
Finally, these plants produce berries up to six months after flowering, meaning long periods of berry growth for our brave astromen.
PopSci reports that lettuce, radishes and tomatoes are all likely to be on the interstellar menu, due to their hearty ability to grow in space. Will strawberries be amongst those disgusting, boring plants? Only time will tell. But yes, yes they will.
