    Food for the Next Frontier.

    We are thrilled to announce the Deep Space Food Challenge, a first of its kind initiative in coordination with the National Aeronautics Space Administration (NASA), and the Canadian Space Agency (CSA), and administered by the Methuselah Foundation. Our mission? Good food for healthier, happier explorers of space and Earth.”

    • Just who is this mysterious WE ?

        • the article was written by Florina Gobel she is a Community Manager at C-SATS an academy for advanced training of surgeons; She is also a member of the life extension board of the “Lifeboat Foundation” https://lifeboat.com/ex/boards#life
          I could not find how she is related to David Gobel one of the founders of Methuselah Foundation. These people are working on becoming immortal. I believe that is “WE” and of course NASA and CSA

        • Another reason for lab-grown “meat”?

            • Throughout my life, I have noticed some disconnects. I remember a conversation with the owner of a computer company (Apricot, another fruity computer business) in the early 80’s. I was assembling Pc’s to custom specs. and we got to talking about the future of technology and unwittingly I made a remark about how over powered computers are and what they are actually made to control and when I added that the current technology would not require that level of sophistication. That even Nuclear powerplants could be operated by people using levers cranks and wheels. My comment immediately killed the conversation.(I also think about the switch from analogue TV’s to digital and how I was looking at the static on the the screen and expecting to see something that was not coming from the TV station) This is happening every where now In broad daylight. Physicist talking about Dark matter, dark energy and dark stars. CERN supposedly trying to access alternate realities, now the attempts to grow meat (maybe even human flesh) in the lab. I hate to go into the deep end and ask loaded questions but isn’t it possible these life extension think tanks (Magic gatherings) are creating a medium to host what ever they expect is going to come through those portals? Or more frightening, Transferring human consciences in to new meat suits and become methuselahs themselves?

                • The possible life-extension-tech angle (new “meat suits”) never occurred to me. Wouldn’t surprise me at all if that were one of the goals.

              • Interesting that the timeline for the Phase 1 competition completes in September of this year. I know I’ve heard something else about Sept. 2021 but can’t recall it at the moment; it may have been financial in nature.
