StarTalk Radio
Homesteading on the Moon with Kevin Espiritu

I don't know, a very high-end basil or something like that.

StarTalk Radio

That'd be really inefficient use of probably the most expensive real estate on earth, right?

And so what they'll do is they'll create, usually it's like a hydroponic or aeroponic type system because then they don't have to deal with the soil.

StarTalk Radio
Homesteading on the Moon with Kevin Espiritu

And they'll create like little channels or little grids or some sort of way of growing it.

And then they'll just stack those on top of one another.

StarTalk Radio

We're good.

StarTalk Radio

StarTalk Radio

We're good.

And then you also got the density at which you can plant.

StarTalk Radio

I'll just go back to my house, for example.

StarTalk Radio
Homesteading on the Moon with Kevin Espiritu

Let's say I'm growing peaches and citrus in my yard.

StarTalk Radio

If I'm a commercial peach grower, I'm growing those trees out to 15 feet wide, 15 feet tall, basically expressing their full genetic potential.
