[/quote] What the hell is oilseed rape?! That sounds horrifying. I don't want ANY of that happening on the moon! xD [/quote] Oilseed rape...is canola. See why they changed the name of that horrible 'food'. It's a garbage oil. [/quote] its no worse than cottonseed and maybe better, but it is cheap and they put it in everything now. [/quote] Not true. If you ate even a small amount of rapeseed oil before processing, it would kill you. Whatever your health amounts to after eating that crap is directly proportional to how well whoever prepared it got the poisons out. They don't get it all, I used to deep fry in that crap and wondered why the deep fryer always gave me huge headaches and made me feel sick and weak. It is TRASH oil, there's no way out of it.

China has started growing COTTON on the far side of the moon (and potatoes are next!): Pioneering mission to the lunar surface is successfully growing biological material for the first time EVER
China's Chang'e-4 mission has successfully started growing plants on the moon.
Cotton seeds can be seen sprouting in a photo released by the China National Space Administration (CNSA).
The mission took a variety of seeds to the moon as part of its biosphere experiment and this marks the first time ever that biological material has been cultivated on the lunar surface.
Other biological matter on the Chang'e-4 mission includes cotton, oilseed rape, potato, Arabidopsis, yeast and fruit flies.
More plants are expected to sprout in the next 100 days, the Chinese space agency claims.
Developing the ability to grow plants in space is an important step towards successful long duration space flight to Mars and beyond.
