Runaway to the Stars: Page 111
Added 2024-02-14 22:06:17 +0000 UTCIt's the first page of RttS that wasn't part of the rough pages I've already posted online! Yippee!! And it features: a resplendently over-rendered zucchini plant. Exactly what you're reading this comic for.

It's a saddle style human chair. An avian chair would be kinda short and weirdly shaped for a human butt.

2024-02-16 01:33:59 +0000 UTCAll crops have been genetically modified (with selective breeding). Some are modified via gene splicing to introduce desirable traits that can't be selected for. Crops intended for space agriculture are often varieties created for high production dwarfism. Shikaviil Port doesn't grow 100% of its food supply (though they theoretically could in an emergency), they get regular imports of dry goods and mostly use the agr units for production of perishable goods. It does also help save on import costs, and improves air quality inside the habitat (although there is also an atmosphere control facility that does the vast majority of the oxygen conversion). Plants are also good for personnel mental health, lol.

2024-02-15 21:34:41 +0000 UTCHave crops also been genetically modified? And how long would it take for the colony to be resupplied if they didn't want to have it grown on the station? Is it too expensive to use spacecraft to deliver goods that are needed in bulk? Are the plants what generate the oxygen on the station?

2024-02-15 09:37:39 +0000 UTCIt looks like its growing hydroponic and it's in a greenhouse, water loss wouldn't be a concern I think.
