I think you'd have to grow them hydroponically or aeroponically in, like, a pressurized chamber.
And I think you'd have to use artificial light, because what's the moon's, like, day-night cycle?
Yeah, so then you're in trouble because plants evolve for a 24-hour light cycle, right?
And so you would need to supplement with light.
They wouldn't survive for, what, like 14 days of darkness?
I think you just got to bring grow lamps.
I mean, you basically just have to replicate.
That is such a good question.
I wish I knew this.
We want to know that, right?
I wish I knew.
I don't know it.
But I think there is, there's definitely an amount that like on a per person basis.
You know what else you could do on the moon?
I just thought about it, is you could go aquaponics.
So we talked about hydroponics and aeroponics.
We didn't talk about aquaponics yet, which basically is, because remember, in hydroponics, aeroponics, you don't have the soil, so you don't have the nutrients, right?
Do you need to input those nutrients synthetically?
If you go aquaponics though, you have fish in that water medium.
Those fish excrete ammonia that converts to nitrites and nitrates, which is used as nitrogen by the plant.
