I would highly recommend reading the materials about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_Duration_Exposure_Facility https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_Duration_Exposure_Facilit..., which is dedicated for material exposure research in the space.
- busymom0 10mo agoThis is very interesting: > The Space Exposed Experiment Developed for Students (SEEDS) allowed students the opportunity to grow control and experimental tomato seeds that had been exposed on LDEF comparing and reporting the results. 12.5 million seeds were flown, and students from elementary to graduate school returned 8000 reports to NASA. The L.A. Times misreported that a DNA mutation from space exposure could yield a poisonous fruit. Whilst incorrect, the report served to raise awareness of the experiment and generate discussion.[17] Space seeds germinated sooner and grew faster than the control seeds. They were also more porous than terrestrial seeds. Wonder why?
