Modern warfare faces a critical challenge as GPS becomes unreliable due to jamming and spoofing. The Pentagon is exploring quantum sensors, like magnetometers, that use Earth's magnetic field for navigation. While promising, these technologies require detailed maps and face hurdles in battlefield conditions, pushing for hybrid solutions to ensure military autonomy.
The journey of growing food in space began with potatoes in the 1990s, proving tubers could form in microgravity. This foundational research paved the way for later successes, like red romaine lettuce harvested and eaten by astronauts on the ISS. These advancements highlight plant adaptation and the potential for self-sustaining food systems on future interplanetary missions.
