Tiny Greenhouse Could Fly Plants to Mars in 2018


In 2018 Mars One (a nonprofit based in the Netherlands) is planning to send a tiny self-contained greenhouse to mars to see the potential of plant growth in mars. Seed was chosen out of 35 designs to be the one that is gonna be launched in a couple years. Of course Mars One has to see if this is feasible and if the analysis shows that it isn't they will choose one of the ten runner ups. This is a major step in our colonization efforts of Mars because it will allow us to see if their might be a chance of success and how to improve them. It would also make the colonization easier if there was plant life on the planet before humans travel there in 2025. I can't wait to see the results of this experiment and what it will tell us about Mars.
