Haven't experiments like this been done for decades. They need to be moving on to the next stage of growing enough food to feed or at least substantially supplementing the crews diet with food grown in space.
I kind of agree that this is old territory. I understand the idea of using new technology and using it to engage students and classrooms or to document the process better, but at the same time this feels like the same old science fair experiments I see every year: how light conditions affect plant growth, or how plant growth is affected by music. I think we need to try to turn-over new ground or hear reasoning why this is a solid or necessary experiment.

So, plants grow a little FASTER in space? If so, that's a very useful thing to know...
of course no ozone layer thats why they grow so fast and was there air in those containers or carbon dioxide?
So, what's different/new from the Skylab & Mir experiments?
in the ISS plants screen right ,up,down,left,back or front is the location of earth?
Yes
I would be interested in buying some weed if you grew it in space. Cosmic weed man, would be far out.
NICE FRESH OXYGEN : )
Space weed
