Mars on Earth Created To Pioneer Space Food
Air Force scientist Lt Col John D Fulton reports that some earth life can survive in Mars like soil. In a lab he built a Martian world with nitrogen rich air low pressure and 1 percent moisture, then introduced bacteria that tolerate or reject oxygen and observed survival for 10 months and growth.
