How Tupperware Is Helping NASA Grow Vegetables In Space
by Ted Nuyten • • 0 Comments
On April 2, 2018, the SpaceX Dragon spacecraft will make its 14th resupply to the International Space Station (ISS). Riding on a Falcon 9 rocket, Dragon will take supplies, equipment and scientific research to the crew members aboard the ISS. One of the areas of scientific research for this mission is furthering research on growing vegetables in space.
Since 2015, astronauts have grown crops in space using the Vegetable Production System (Veggie), a plant growth unit deployed on board that grows vegetables (lettuce, tomatoes, etc) to provide a continuous source of fresh food to the crew.
The Veggie also serves a scientific purpose, determining how plants sense, develop and respond to gravity, harvested, analyzed and eaten. NASA scientists also say that growing plants in space can also help them understand how to improve plant production on Earth as well.
With the Veggie system, a seed is inserted into a round soft surface known as a plant pillow inside a circular container. Astronauts then inject the plant pillow with a syringe filled with water. Prior Veggie experiments showed that some plants did better than others based on the regularity of the water and oxygen they received.
But on this mission, the Veggie experiment uses a new method to deliver nutrients to plants through the Passive Orbital

Starbit Launches Crypto Protector And Boost Sales Volumes

An unique Antivirus and Special Ransomware Software Technology can finally help all cryptocurrency communities thanks to Starbit.
In times even more subject to cyber attacks Crypto Protector is a particularly innovative product for pc and mobiles protection. This product is a “must” for anyone in the world using a pc, and of course for any crypto wallet user”.
A product that will keep pushing sales to higher levels.
Nowadays nasty type of malware can attack and block access to a computer or its data and demands money to release it.
When a computer is infected, the ransomware typically contacts a central server for the information it needs to activate and then begins encrypting files on the infected computer with that information.
Once all the files are encrypted, it posts a message asking for payment to decrypt the files – and threatens to destroy the information if it doesn’t get paid, often with a timer attached to ramp up the pressure.
Most ransomware is spread hidden within Word documents, PDFs and other files normally sent via email, or through a secondary infection on computers already affected by viruses that offer a backdoor for further attacks.
Crypto Protector deals with known ransomware in a way no other solution can.
