Very cool!
Plants are definitely a key player in maintaining the stability of Earth's climate!

[@Pottery4Life]

Thank you and welcome, Nicholas!!.

As a taxpayer, I would happily support NASA building the actual set in these videos instead of using a green screen. Seriously, I'm not kidding - we should build that entire set at JSC. Take my money and build it, please!!

(Bad joke Nicholas Page hears far too often)
Hey Nick, loved you in Ghost Rider. 🤣

It takes billions to figure out why no water and 1oo+ temps stop photosynthesis. No wonder this country is going broke! One West Texas farmer could have told you that!

I think it was moreso if there are areas in the tropics where that is not the case. Similar to “Saltwater Rice” and all that being able to hunt down genes that survive in very rough areas, which can then be shoved into staple crops, is going to be a major help.
Farmers are geniuses though and it is wild the amount of stuff that goes into planning/harvesting something as “simple” as corn.
