Found this pic on APOD (http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap150401.html) and had to share.

Good one  :LOL:

I heard somewhere that spaghetti trees might actually grow on Mars too.

At first, I didn't notice the "horns" coming from the helmet, so I thought it was a spacesuit for a pig ("when pigs fly" came to mind). Then I read the information associated with the image, and finally understood the reference. :o Good find, Snowy! :D :thumbsup:

I imagine a space suite like this may be more practical that building a gigantic indoor farm on Mars.
Or even in an emergency to save a food supply in case there is a breach in an indoor farm on Mars.
Cows are huge animals, but calves may small enough animals to be sent to Mars.  I hate to think what other kinds of meat we'll be eating, or milk we'll be drinking, on Mars, if it isn't from cows.
