Process Of NASA’s Food Cultivation in Space Should Be Documented on the Blockchain
Blockchain technology will allow the world to accomplish many great things in the near and distant future. While the art of growing vegetables in space may have nothing to do with this technology directly, the documentation process of growing food in space, as well as delivering it to consumers, could benefit from blockchain technology. The International Space Station crew will try their hand at eating fresh food grown in space later today. NASA’s Veg-01 plant experiment may be one of the most significant breakthroughs in space we have seen since landing on the Moon itself. By studying the....

CoinTelegraph spoke with Gabi Dumitriu, the founder of Cryptospaceinitiative.org, an organization that aims to create the first “constellation of satellites” running a grid network in space that would orbit the Earth and help the International Space Station to process large volumes of data much faster. By harnessing the processing power of a decentralized computer grid and the space environment that’s “ideal for spinning disk drives,” agencies like NASA can potentially process data more efficiently and less costly than traditional data processing centers, while rewarding and helping its....
