This is a fascinating thought! It is amazing how even a typical drink can inspire research in the domain of sustainability on other planets. Although natural resources vital for life on Mars, such as food, water, and air, will always be the issues of primary interest, such experiments are useful in finding out the ways of growing crops, making drinks, and simply living on other planets. A very good article—thank you, it is a great combination of scientific information and narrative flow!

Note: my comment favors only the ideology,the technology behind it and the one step up; also those who use this beer drink otherwise, not personally means it's free to use the beer drink without your view @ HEART!
