Interesting. I wonder if there's any research as to viability of this plant in terraforming/eco-forming on other planets.
I mean, I don't believe in actually doing this to other planets at all, but the experiment of trying to get something to grow, to bootstrap an ecosystem on a fundamentally barren world, that's at least interesting.
- brtkdotse 4y agoDespite the bombastic title, it’s just a plant - it needs water, nutrients and the right amount of CO2.
- user3939382 4y agoThe term for this is terraforming and there’s been a lot of research into it: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terraforming https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terraforming
- Maursault 4y agoIf you want to terraform, you shouldn't bother with other planets when there's plenty of areas on Earth begging to be terraformed, such as the deserts Sahara, Great Australian, Arabian, Gobi, Kalahari, Syrian, Chihuahuanetc and most of the western US. Save yourself from certain death and make a fortune here at home developing land that can't be used and no one wants.
- yellowapple 4y ago> Save yourself from certain death Death is already certain anyway. Might as well make it an exciting one.
- taskforcegemini 4y agoprobably not what you meant, but: are you saying that we shouldn't care about global warming as long as we have fun?
- yellowapple 4y agoDeath may be inevitable, but it's still best to die on one's own terms when possible, rather than it being imposed on oneself like global warming is.
