Growing fresh food on the Moon is going to be crucial if astronauts there are ever going to eat anything other than freeze-dried rations. Since husbanding animals on the lunar surface isdifficult (to put it mildly), most mission planners believe that plants are the solution. But we still dont entirely understand how one of the most fundamental materials to plant growth, water, operates under partial gravity.
