#2 I'm going to class "artificial steak" with "virtual $ex" as something I can't imagine ever feeling a need to try.

#3 If it costs roughly $9,850.00 per lbs. to put things in orbit. Imagine what a lbs. of this meat well end upcosting?

#4 Apollo managed to make the trip in leaky bathtubs and Spam.

I do like the optimism fights to the moon are so routine soft people will need a porterhouse to make the trip, instead of The Moon being a large battlefield for drones.

But this is NASA, so Media Headlines kiss kiss Bill Gates.

In the prophecy film Demolition Man the artificial sex was easily taunted. Much more subtle, since film doesn't do tasting (yet) was the artificial meat at Taco Bell being taunted with the rat burger tasting so good.

#5 Hope, for their sake,
they successfully grow steaks 🥩
Otherwise, they may face,

I would think it’d be much cheaper to transport a few cultures to be grown up there than to transport mass quantities of actual food. And once the cell cultures are started, it’d just be a matter of cutting off the end before cooking and throwing it back into the matrix to grow more.

Kind of like adding ornamental sweet potatoes to the planters for their beautiful vines, only to discover that there are vegetables to harvest under the soil at the end of the summer.
