NASA’S
WILD PLAN
FOR THE
MOON
Some of the most exciting developments shaping our future beyond Earth aren’t coming from rocket science or robotics… but mushrooms.
Yes, really! It might sound absurd, but it starts to make sense when you learn about astromycology – the study of fungi and their potential role in future space exploration.
NASA is experimenting with growing fungi-based habitats on the Moon, and scientists are investigating how mushrooms might provide construction materials, radiation shielding, and even help terraform Mars.
Could these ancient and versatile lifeforms be the unlikely ingredient that propels us to the stars?
