The astronauts eventually embarking on missions to Mars and deep space will need to be able to do a few things to emulate life on Earth. They’ll need to wash their clothes and grow some of their own food. This will improve the logistics of missions and enhance their quality of life. NASA is already studying technology to wash clothes in space. And as of June, astronauts on the International Space Station are growing a brand new crop. After testing other plants in previous research phases, NASA narrowed the chile pepper as a promising alternative for growing food in space. In four months, we’ll know whether the experiment is successful and whether the fruit is safe to consume.
