Deputy Kashin called the idea of Roscosmos CEO to grow plants in orbit as foolish corporation “Roscosmos” Dmitry Rogozin to grow plants in orbit foolishness. His words are quoted by the radio station “Moscow speaking.” He noted that they should be addressed. “That film is being shot in space, now we’ll come up with one more nonsense. Let's take and use what lies under our feet, what is at hand, “- Kashin commented on the plans of Roscosmos.
Earlier Rogozin said that the seeds and sprouts in orbit will be strongly influenced by the space environment – radiation, a bright stream of ultraviolet radiation. It is possible that the experiment will be carried out using a 3D bioprinter, said the head of the state corporation.
In addition, he revealed the planned names of the new modules of the promising Russian Orbital Service Station (ROSS). Rogozin noted that they will be named after Russian subjects.
