Re: [DIYbio] Re: CyanoKnights - Cyanos on Mars - Experiment piggybac at MarsOnemission

NASA, brick in the wall, poster child. Telling others to conform to bureaucratic (aka costly & time consuming) standards?

Mars One could be a publicity stunt but it could also be a fledgling organization, an organization that has very little guidance. Just because they are not explicit doesn't mean they aren't worth the attention. No organization is absolute. See if they need a helping hand. What's your strategy, ridicule it?

There are so many NASA projects that still make a debut on their channel but have long been scrapped. Need for spacer footage never seems to astound.

The dust that settles on an installation could just as easily blow off. I mean look at the rovers. They are still at it, last I checked. Or were at it longer than expected. Problems will arise at the one week mark of a 2 week experiment. Right?

>NASA is not sending plants to the ISS to see if they will grow... Do some research. Geesh. Growing plants in Space was originally done in the 1990s.
Yes, but they sure like to ride coattails of organizations, researchers, and universities that still do. They do that even when one of their astronauts does so unofficially.

>You think spending billions of dollars on a 2 week experiment is worth it when the exact same experiment can be done on Earth?
Don't know... Ask NASA's Chris McKay.

>Why does your experiment need to be done on Mars? Why not do it on Earth? You put your "micro-greenhouse" outside in a storm and it would be blown over in 5 minutes. These are things that can all be tested on Earth.
On your way of insulting other people's intelligence, you aren't doing yourself a favor either. I assume that you do understand that the Martian atmosphere is way more sparse than that of earth when you made that remark.
