Lettuce? That's mostly water and low in nutritional value.. why would they grow instead of kale or spinach or even sweet potatoes? You know, super foods...

It's a experiment and oxygen, just the first
this stuff isfast-maturing, and subject to very little if any effects from the lack of gravity....however experimenting no doubt will go on.
I am surprised this hasn't been done a long time ago. Lettuce, spinach, arugula et al are incredibly easy to grow and even prefer cool temps

Weightlessness.
@BitFlipper weightlessness does Not significantly effect short-term annuals like lettuce.
How does it taste though..

@SeaGreenEyez sooo, bland..damn,lol
@Charlene oh I used to grow 30' of varied lettuces before I reworked the pool deck...so many colors, shapes, textures, tastes. Beautiful & yummy!
How does micro gravity affect plant growth ?? Human musculoskeletal changes take weeks if not months for astronauts & cosmonauts to rehabilitate on earth

Lettuces et al grow very fast, and are not effected.
