Astronauten könnten eines Tages Asteroiden nach Nahrung abbauen, sagen Wissenschaftler

Submission statement (taken from the article):

>Material harvested from asteroids could be used to sustain astronauts during long-duration space missions. 

>Researchers from Western University’s Institute for Earth and Space Exploration have identified a way to produce edible biomass, aka food, using microbes and the organic compounds found in asteroids. Their proposed process addresses the issue of how to pack enough food for future missions to the outer reaches of the solar system — or even beyond.
