'We'll see if we can do it as well as Matt Damon did': How astronauts will grow plants on the moon

Within the next five years, astronauts will be growing vegetables on the moon with technology developed by Australian scientists.Astronauts will use artificial Intelligence developed by USQ researchers to grow vegetables on the moonCrops of leafy greens could be grown on the moon in the next five years

Their mission is to develop agricultural tech software that will use sensors to detect early stress in plants being grown onboard space flights. "They still look like plants, and they still curl up and die so we need space environment signals that we can program the camera to detect the problems and fix them."

"We'll see if we can do it as well as Matt Damon," Dr Humpal said, referring to the film The Martian in which Damon's character tries to survive on Mars.It is hoped the system will eventually evolve into artificial intelligence, an AI gardener on the moon.

So we've solved the problem of astronauts' muscles atrophying in low gravity then?

A huge engineering job but no reason why we couldn't do it, assuming the technology exists.
