Re: Designer Plants on Mars

This is stuff I think up when falling asleep, for Flying Spaghetti Monstersake!
ROFL! 
That's brilliant. ::jots down for later use:: Teehee.
... how did this come to be ...
Natural selection couldn't do the job?
.I think the bigger question is what about the biology allows it to survive. For instance some plants and animals produce a natural antifreeze to help deal with cold temperatures.
Yeah, that's really cool. Even if I do get enough of those danged P. whatever's in my work...(for Flying Spaghetti Monstersake!).
Natural antifreeze, hmmmm.

Re: Designer Plants on Mars
I think many of the Astronauts on a future Mars-bound spacecraft will also likely also grow at least some of their food, the Moon if it is to be a success should be also pushing to be self- sufficient but finding the right balanced mix of supplies and then of crops and understanding their effects on both crew and spacecraft are necessary concerns.
