didn’t we just do moss and with a less clickbait title
Seems misleading. They didn’t have moss growing outside the station, they had spores in an “exposure” box out there for 9 months, then sent them to earth and were able to grow moss from the spores.
thanks for clarifying, that’s a huge distinction vs. moss actually growing as implied by their phrasing and the image.
still cool that the spores survived, but much less remarkable.
Yeah, I agree. The reality is very interesting, so it sucks that they made it sound so much more significant.
I think the image of the ISS completely covered in moss growing in the vacuum of space conveyed that point well enough, you might be reading to much into it.
