Interesting... Due to the buzz, this is all I have for a reply at the moment. :rolleyes:

I think growth is due to the lack of gravity.

With nothing holding/putting weight on the plants (gravity) it can
grow/expand at will.

Alien Bait is the Science brain here.. Sure he can enlighten us.
plus imagine the Lumens they get out in space with no atmosttphere.

How long until they start procreating up there, to see if we'd evolve faster? :stoned:
