Just reading about correlation between space exploration and bein' a big old vegan. Logistics, shelf-life, weight, safety, stability and efficiency. Closed loop systems etc. Interesting, eh? The future evolution of humanity may require moving away from animal-based diets. Just imagine, in 500 years, children being taught that their ancestors came from a planet they killed through exploitation where they ate the rotting carcasses of other living beings. They'll think we're barbarians. And they won't be wrong.

Given that we can't fix climate change here, and that we don't have any long term closed loop habitats *on earth* where there's breathable air and local resources and infrastructure, living in space long term seems a bit of a pipe dream.
