NASA grows plants in space: Key to astronaut health; Mars and deep space travel breakthrough
Growing plants in space, once a distant dream, is now vital for long-duration missions. Astronauts have successfully cultivated zinnias, sunflowers, and wheat on space stations, offering fresh food, psychological comfort, and life-support benefits. NASA's Veggie project and earlier Soviet experiments demonstrate the feasibility of space farming, paving the way for sustainable deep space exploration and reducing reliance on Earth-based supplies.
