| Fruits, Vegetables in Space? pictures - [ Chinese have launched their first "breeding" satellite, with the sole mission to carry seeds of vegetables, fruits and other plants into space, expose them to cosmic radiation and micro-gravity in hopes they mutate into better breeds which can be cultivated on earth upon return. ]I know that every fifth person on earth is Chinese, so they are the experts when it comes to breeding and cultivation. But launching a bag of seeds into space in hopes they mutate into something better is like sending Mel Gibson in space and naively hoping he'll come back sober. Or launching Paris Hilton into space in hopes she'll bring back new strains of STDs for scientific research. OK the last one may actually be pretty plausible provided that there's at least some "matable" life on other planets. Still, the Earth could be a safer place if Paris were 'boldly staying where no one has stayed before'.
In this contest you are asked to photoshop one of the following:
1) Show how gardening and cultivating (fruits, vegetables, or other plants) will happen in space (on planets, moons or in free space). Including (or not) astronauts is up to you.
2) Spacecrafts made (in part of full) of fruits or vegetables
3) Planets or sun made of fruits or vegetables
