Will humans eat on the moon? Is this a big question? Humans had gone to the moon before, now preparations are on to go again. When Yoontan Weintraub, PhD researcher in biophysics at Stanford University, told his mother that NASA was preparing to send some people to the moon. Then his mother's first question was whether the son would eat the people going there. At this the idea came to Yontan's mind. He shared his idea with NASA scientists. Which has been greatly appreciated. Yontan says that with his technique, gram can be grown on the moon.

After this, 34-year-old Yontan Winetraub, an Israeli citizen, created a mechanism by which gram can be grown on the moon. Yontan named this mechanism as Miniature Greenhouse. It is a kind of small device inside which chickpeas can grow. Yoontan said synthetic biology is needed to grow crops on the space station or on the moon.

With the help of synthetic biology, the process of germination and harvesting of crops on the space station or on the moon will be under your command. This can give you a reliable crop or food item. Let us tell you that in the year 2022, The Space Humus Experiment will be done. In this, a company named Axiom Space will travel privately to the space station through Elon Musk's SpaceX rocket.

Yontan's device will travel to the space station on this journey. Grams will be grown there. If successful in this, then a large amount of gram crop can be grown inside such a large device on the moon. Astronauts on the space station or on the moon will be in control of how much time and quantity to grow the crop. When Yontan was asked why did you choose gram for the test, he gave this answer.

Yontan said that green gram grows fast. They do not require much effort. Yontan Weintraub is also a former aerospace engineer. A private lander was sent to the moon from the idea of ​​Yontan, its non-governmental organization named SpaceIL was sent. Its name was Beresheet Lander. It was launched in 2019, but it failed due to a crash landing on the moon.

What is humus in The Humus Experiment. Humus is the top thin layer of soil. It is rich in organic matter. Not only this, compost prepared compost and natural compost obtained from forests is also called humus. It helps in growing any crop faster. It also transmits essential nutrients to the crop.

Yontan reported that The Humes is supporting the experiment at the Strauss Group. They are not only funding but are also getting help from their experts. With the Hummus Experiment, a private trip to the space station will be conducted for the first time. Israeli businessman and former fighter pilot Eaton Stibe is also going in this. Who has given 55 million dollars i.e. 408 crores for this journey.

Yontan said that he has been working on this project for the last 6 months. He is happy that his project will be taken to the space station in this mission. There, the gram crop will be grown and tested. That is, how fast the crop grows. How long is it safe? How nutritious is it? Astronauts will not face any problem with its use.
