![]() Five sardinian researchers from the University of Cagliari, Giacomo Cao, Alessandro Concas, Gianluca Corrias, Roberta Licheri, Roberto OrrĂ¹ and Massimo Pisu have realised an innovative system to produce substances for the human survival during the space missions, and to live on other planets. The patent consists in a procedure that allows to obtain oxygen, water, carbon monoxide, ammonia, nitrogen fertilizers and edible biomass, useful to the survival and the livelihood of the crews of the next space missions to Mars. This substances will be produced from resources findable on Mars. The project is coordinated by Giacomo Cao, professor at the Department of Mechanic Engineering and Chemistry of the University of Cagliari and researcher at the CRS4 ( Center for Advanced Studies, Research and Development in Sardinia ). http://www.unionesarda.it/articolo/cronaca_sardegna/2014/01/28/acqua_e_cibo_per_vivere_su_marte_il_brevetto_di_5_scienziati_sardi-6-351744.html |

Why don't researchers think to develop methods to fight the famines, to make the Earth more liveable, rather that spend time and money to produce foods on the other planets? |

Many inventions developed initially for the space industry are now available for everyone on the Earth, so it's wrong saying that it's a waste of time and money. Perhaps this sardinian invention will serve in the future to produce food and water also in many places of the Earth. Edited by Antoni Sias, Feb 3 2014, 01:40 AM.
