Scientists Take, Giant First Step , Toward Lunar Farming.
'Time' reports that NASA's Artemis program
aims to return American astronauts to the
moon and establish permanent lunar bases.
'Time' reports that NASA's Artemis program
aims to return American astronauts to the
moon and establish permanent lunar bases.
This means they must use the moon's soil,
referred to as regolith, as a medium
to grow crops in lunar greenhouses.
With NASA prepping themselves
to go back to the moon for longer excursions,
it became much more relevant that we
understand how resources that are in situ on
the moon can be used to further exploration, Anna-Lisa Paul, horticulturist
and lead author of the paper, via 'Time'.
According to a new study published
in 'Communications Biology,' scientists have
successfully grown crops in lunar soil for the first time.
The research was carried out
at the University of Florida by a team
of two horticulturalists and one geologist. .
The plants grown in lunar soil were smaller
and developed more slowly than control plants
grown in terrestrial volcanic soil.
The results led the team to suggest that
the age of the soil plays a crucial role
in determining the success of crops.
What we found was that the regoliths
that were more mature were indeed
more toxic to the plants, or at least they
presented a more toxic response, Anna-Lisa Paul, horticulturist
and lead author of the paper, via 'Time'.
What we could simply do in the absence
of other constraining factors, is land
and establish a habitat on a lunar surface
that is significantly younger than
the Apollo 11, 12, and 17 sites, Stephen Elardo, geologist and co-author, via 'Time'

Forecasters Warn , Earth May Hit Critical
Warming Threshold , Before 2026.
'Time' reports that the Earth is inching closer
to a warming threshold that multiple international
agreements are aimed at preventing.
According to teams of meteorologists around the world,
there is almost a 50-50 chance that the planet will
reach that threshold within the next five years. .
The warning prediction was issued on May 9 by a
team of 11 different forecast centers working with
the World Meteorological Organization.
'Time' reports that just last year, the same
forecasters said that the odds of hitting
the temperature threshold were at 40%. .
Ten years earlier, they said
the odds were just at 10%. .
In this year's report, the team also predicted
that there is a 93% chance the planet will
experience five years of record-breaking heat. .
We’re going to see continued warming in line with what is expected with climate change, Leon Hermanson, U.K. Met Office senior scientist, via 'Time'.

The world has already
warmed approximately
1.1 degrees Celsius since the late 1800s. .
In 2018, the United Nations
warned of dramatic and dangerous effects on
the world if warming exceeds 1.5 degrees Celsius.

Regardless of what is predicted here,
we are very likely to exceed 1.5 degrees Celsius in the next decade or so,
but it doesn’t necessarily mean that we
are committed to this in the long term —
or that working to reduce further
change is not worthwhile, Gavin Schmidt, NASA top climate scientist, via 'Time'.

'The Daily Mail' reports that the launch system encountered several technical errors.
Those errors included a leak
involving flammable liquid hydrogen and
a faulty valve in the upper stage of the rocket.
Now, NASA engineers will work on
addressing the fueling errors and repeat
the test launch at some time later this year.
