231020 Space2 Corn 092v5

An “astronaut” holds a small corn plant with the Flex-Ro autonomous planter behind her. A planter for Mars would be much smaller so it can be transported easier and also because the “fields” would probably be in enclosed spaces. Photo illustration for Space 2, the Nebraska Grand Challenge led by professors in Biological Systems Engineering to grow crops on Mars. October 20, 2023.
