🖖The CO2 equation

You ever heard of the Deep Space Food Challenge?

It’s an effort to develop food production technologies that require minimal resources and produce minimal waste.

All while providing safe and nutritious food for astronauts on long-duration missions.

The challenge managed by NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center and supported by NASA's Johnson Space Center and Kennedy Space Center.

Winning teams in the final phase are awarded a total of $3 million in prizes.

Which brings me to the point of this email.

The mission and technology of a company dedicated to getting rid of that nasty carbon dioxide (CO₂) in our atmosphere.

The same stuff that if there was too much of it in our atmosphere we’d turn into Venus.

Trust me. We don’t want to become Venus.

Temperatures would skyrocket. Temperatures on Venus are about 467°C. Plants wouldn’t get sunlight for photosynthesis and die. We’d suffocate from a lack of oxygen. Also the heat.

You lose.
