Mining Asteroids For Food Is Now Possible

Of course, this discovery also opens the door for a litany of questions about the quality of the food that asteroid mining could provide. Exactly how the rocks would have the organic material extracted and processed and whether or not the “food” that this material would potentially give can be eaten remains to be seen. At this point, it’s not probable that what can be grown would even taste good, even with the skills of a mission’s best chef at hand.

Though the research has answered some concerns, time and patience could lead to a solution to the others that are quite innovative.
