The dream of a sustainable human presence on the moon or Mars has long been rooted in science fiction. Making it a reality is far more complex.
One obstacle at a time, researchers worldwide are chipping away at the impossible to find viable paths forward.
Now, a team of researchers from various universities has come together to investigate how to transform barren extraterrestrial surfaces into fertile farmland.

How about we figure out the gravity problem making the return to earth pretty difficult? Pretty sure long exposure to lower than earth’s gravity makes it impossible to come back to earth.
