Hemp would be a much better crop to grow. Textiles, food, fuel and grows in just about anything.

Great!
All we need to find now is a plant that will grow at an average of -63degC, in an atmospheric more than 100 times thinner than Earth.
Easy!

So I wonder if they will eventually conclude that it smells like poo on uranus![*groan*]

:doh: Who gives a flying fuck!! I'd sooner they spent the money on something a little more earth bound. Somehow I don't see myself with a vegie patch on Mars at any time in the near future. Couldn't afford the fuel to fly there to water it once a week anyhow. Anyone know the price of rocket fuel at the moment?????:whocares:

PBS runs a great Science podcast called "science now" from Nova.

This one is a little old now but it talks about a "space elevator".
