谁会吃第一个外星蔬菜?
The crew of the International Space Station recently took delivery of a case of wine. A full dozen bottles of delicious red wine traveled from Earth, through the atmosphere, and ended up at the orbiting laboratory where six scientists have to let it sit for a year before sending it back. They can’t drink it, which is a bummer, but the experiment aims to reveal how space radiation and low gravity might change the makeup and flavor of the wine.
它让我思考:谁将成为第一个在另一个世界上种植蔬菜的人?
Imagine being the first human to discover the existence of eggplants. The earliest documentation noting the existence of the eggplant dates back many centuries, and it’s unknown whether it first originated in Africa or India, but either is equally likely. But what about that first person who decided to take a bite of it, or any wild vegetable for that matter?
他们看到了它,认为它看起来很好吃,潜入吗?他们是否观察到动物吃它并假设它是安全的?一群古代人民举行了投票,决定谁是豚鼠吗?We don’t know, and probably never will, but as we begin to explore our Solar System and eventually send crewed missions to Mars and perhaps beyond, those brave travelers will need food, and it would make sense to grow that food on location, if possible.
科学家在地球上已经尝试with analogs of Martian soil to determine what might grow there. There are a number of candidates, including potatoes, and it’s entirely possible that we’ll one day be growing crops somewhere other than Earth. That’s exciting, but just as with the wine experiment, we’re not entirely sure how something like a Mars potato might differ from an Earth potato.
火星表面比我们在地球上处理的辐射明显更多的辐射。这是火星失去大部分气氛和更弱的磁场的结果。如果我们在表面上种植土豆,即使在类似的玻璃圆顶上,我们也可以控制许多变量,我们真的不知道植物如何反应或产生它产生的蔬菜的不同程度。
NASA has even sponsored research that seeks to genetically modify plants before they are sent to the Red Planet, hoping to make them more compatible with the conditions they’ll ultimately be forced to grow in. This, the researchers hope, will be a step toward Mars-friendly crops that can grow for generations.
如果我们看起来更远的是未来 - 并对我们发现的能力进行了一些完全没有令人难以置信的假设,然后前往生命已经茁壮成长的地方 - 食物问题变得更加复杂。在一个假设的未来,载人的使命是一个已经充满自己独特的植物和动物的外星人世界,我们吃什么?
这样的未来假设令人难以置信的技术进步,也许来自魔法手持设备的快速扫描可以警告深空的旅行者,以防止他们以前从未见过的毒性植物的危险。但即便如此,如果科学说,你手中的奇怪的蓝色番茄是安全的,你是否愿意拿出一群真正的外星素食者?
