Could we grow algae on Mars to feed future astronauts? 🌱 A recent ESA Discovery project with the University of Valencia and Instituto Biotecmed explored whether hardy microalgae from lichens could survive Martian conditions – and the results are promising! From oxygen to nutrition, these tiny organisms might be key to space farming. One step closer to living off the land… on Mars. 📹 @europeanspaceagency 📸 @universitatvalencia/Biotecmed
