Slashdot: Mars Soil Able to Sustain Life
Morning All,
Interesting post over on slashdot about Martian soil and its newly discovered ability to sustain vegetable life. Apparently you could grow some pretty hardy asparagus on Big Red. We say "hardy" because said asparagus would have to put up with temperatures ranging from +81º to -225º(!)
Oooh, wired has a post too!
Here are both:
Slashdot
Wired
This is great news! We're heading there someday, and this data shows that the planet can support us when we get there.
