MS. STILSON: Well, Joshua from Jacksonville asks can you grow seeds in space. MS. HIRE: Yes, we can. We can grow seeds in space, and we have done so. We've had experiments going back to the MIR missions, where we actually had plant growth. And we have plans for many more experiments with plants and growth in space. And the that's unique there is, without the affect of gravity, they grow in a much different way. And we like to study that, because eventually, again, with colonizations, eventually, would be great to be able to grow some of our own plants in space.
