YouTube Description
as posted by the channelDo plants need to be genetically modified to grow on Mars? How will plants grow with the extreme temperatures and dim sunlight of the Red Planet? Bill Nye The Science Guy and comedian Chuck Nice discuss this Cosmic Query from a fan on Twitter. They note that certain plants like mushrooms don’t require photosynthesis to grow.
Bill Nye has doubts about sustained human life on Mars, comparing it to life in Antarctica: very cold, very dry, and hard to breathe. That's what makes Antarctica is a great place to study the greenhouse effect, the ozone, ice sheets and more - but no one stays there for an extended period of time.
This "Behind the Scenes" video was shot during the recording of our episode, " Cosmic QueriesGMOs with Bill Nye (Part 1)." If you'd like to listen to the full podcast, click here
