🪐🥔 #Astronaut Don Pettit cultivated purple #potatoes using a hydroponic system on the #ISS.

The sprouts grew in multiple directions due to the absence of gravity and created a shape that resembled a purple lifeform with tentacles.

Purple Lifeform Photographed Sprouting 'Tentacles' on The ISS : ScienceAlert

A grotesque purple lifeform was photographed sprouting 'tentacles' on the International Space Station (ISS), causing a stir online.

I'll *never* forget how we watched the first #moonLanding live in 1969. It was a "wonder" how they arrived with these Star-Trek-like clickediclick buttons and primitive computers.

In 2026, the announcements leave me completely cold. A fascist state is showing off, and an a-hole who litters #space and poisons the atmosphere has a hand in it. And then, despite all the technology available today, they can’t even manage a landing. For me: a story of #knowledge loss.
