This startup is about to grow plants in outer space

Who will feed a multi-planetary human civilization? Barbara Belvisi, founder and CEO of Interstellar Lab, hopes her technology will answer that question. She was inspired to start her company by her childhood spent on her grandparents’ farm in Poland, and by the promise of a multi-planetary human future from Elon Musk’s SpaceX. Belvisi’s big idea? To develop “intelligent biospheric systems to grow life autonomously on Earth and in Space.” In the second half of the interview, Belvisi discusses “Mission Little Prince.” The mission is a collaboration with The Antoine de Saint Exupéry Foundation to grow roses on the moon, inspired by the classic novella “The Little Prince.” #interstellarlab #spacex #elonmusk #thelittleprince #space #mars #moon #farming #womanownedbusiness #startup Chapters: 00:00 - Intro 00:20 - The "crazy idea" 01:15 - What is Interstellar Labs? 02:00 - Earth-based customers 03:00 - Mission "Little Prince" 04:00 - Taking a big risk 05:00 - Roses in LEO, on the Moon & Mars == Yahoo Finance provides free stock ticker data, up-to-date news, portfolio management resources, comprehensive market data, advanced tools, and more information to help you manage your financial life.
