Did the next generation of mice born in the low gravity of the International Space Station have abnormalities in their intelligence, bone structure, or organs? Did they have short life spans?

True. And the rate of evolution of living creatures seems to have accelerated since ancient times. Considering the coronavirus pandemic and global warming, the human population on Earth has increased to near saturation, which may push humans to migrate to space. In addition, the evolution of AI...

This is likely a significant consideration. Humans migrating to the Moon or Mars reminds me of the ancient lungfish and salamanders that migrated from one water area to another over land. Just as fish evolved into land creatures, the time may be approaching when humans will evolve into space...

Thank you for your wise knowledge. How about Euglena? Euglena is likely the best feed for grass carp, Ctenopharyngodon idellus or crucian carp, Carassius cuvieri. Euglena can be cultivated using light. Moreover, it can be used as an ingredient in space food.

You're right. Algae seem to be the easiest to produce basic nutrients in space. However, more advanced plants, and other animals than humans will also be necessary to maintain a culture in space. Feeding them the algae surplus for humans may be valid. When considering the effort and cost...

I like to imagine simulations of space immigration, and I think that space cultivation of plants is an important prerequisite for space immigration. Starting with chlorella and spirulina, which are easy to grow hydroponically and highly nutritious, composting the surplus algae will likely be...

Thank you. I see, that recycling plant nutrients through composting is great. Is it possible to use excess chlorella and spirulina from hydroponic cultivation as raw material for compost for lettuce or barley?

Thank you for sharing your wonderful insight. Underground cultivation is also likely to protect plants from radiation. Can there be the nutrients necessary for plants, such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, in the soil on Mars?

Thank you for the enlightening reply. What about starting with growing algae like chlorella or spirulina in farms or tubes?

Thank you for your reply. So, apart from the temperature, sunlight would be insufficient to grow plants in the Antarctic region of Mars?

Thank you for your reply. I personally want to simulate growing plants on Mars, so I'm looking into the yearly variation of daylight hours in the most watery Antarctic.

Thank you for your reply. Considering the thinness of the atmosphere on Mars, how much stronger will the sunlight be on Mars's surface than on Earth?

How long do the daylight hours change monthly throughout a Mars' year near Mars' South Pole by Earth time?
