i thought you'd never ask.....come to the University of Arizona. enroll in Biosystems Engineering or in Plant Sciences, depending on your specific interstes. we need you.

we normally say that in hydroponics and controlled environment all plants will grow and grow anywhere the system is placed...but there is the cost that limits each application

very importatn do not pee on your garden plants!! yes there are nutrients in the urine, but way too many salts...surely death for your plants.

Earth Applications are important! great question! yes, our work came from previous experiences for on Earth commerical food produciton systems in greenhouses; we plan to use the improvements and new knowledge to feedback to Earth-based food producers in GH's and in other indoor systems.

saw the movie..it ws enjoyable science fiction with much basis on facts, but with the ability to stretch the science/engineering.... the potatoes would never have grown in the limited lighting conditons of the habitat; also the human waste would have been to 'unprocessed' to provide nutrients.
