China is in the process of making it happen and attempting to do so through artificial photosynthesis in space! What is Artificial Photosynthesis? Artificial Photosynthesis is a way by which Astronauts can replace the way photosynthesis occurs naturally in plants and also helps to create oxygen in space which will help in cleaning space also. Now, why on earth does China want to do this in space? Space travel is long -haul , and bringing oxygen tanks and fuel all the way from Earth is expensive —not to say , astronauts would not have to keep fretting about losing their oxygen! So, if they can create oxygen and power themselves from sunlight and CO₂ (which they normally exhale anyway ), that would be revolutionary ! China's Space Experiment China's researchers are even working on artificial photosynthesis in space. T...
