This is mostly a myth. It's impossible to actually keep only the soil underneath one's home a consistent degree of wet. If you water the soil under your house, the water eventually gets sucked out by capillary action to all of the dry parts of your lawn (and your neighbors lawn).

It would only work if everyone watered EVERYWHERE, by a uniform amount.

The concept seemed unsustainable to me, thanks for the follow-up.

Where is here?

Its primary vector is the asian citrus psyllid. But you're right, once the bacteria is present in the plant tissue it can be transmitted to other healty plants via diseased grafts.

No created or temporary thing can ever fulfill you in the way you recognize that you are unfulfilled.

It's not the plants themselves that fix nitrogen but endosymbiotic microorganisms in the soil.

I know. For simplicity, I was talking about the plants in the same generic sense that your gut microbiome is a part of you, and the dead tissues that form your hair and skin are also a part of you.

You still need to hack up the eg cereal plants so they can actually engage in that symbiotic relationship (or perhaps actually directly fix nitrogen all by themselves, without any outside help at all).

N-fixation does happen in the soil, but legumes have root nodules that host rhizobium bacteria and can assimilate the N much more easily

As a comparison, one habanero (not the crazy ghost/chocolate cultivars, but the plain jane habanero) is 150k Scoville units. Serranos top out at 25k.

Eventually it will get cheap enough to where people can be buried on the (shot at the) moon.

It has already been attempted. https://www.axios.com/2024/01/08/peregrine-moon-lander-launc...

And indeed has been done too!

"The human remains aboard the lander won't be the first on the moon, as ashes of Gene Shoemaker, the founder of astrogeology, were buried on the moon in the late 1990s by the Lunar Prospector."

It's not, and there've already been (failed) attempts. https://www.axios.com/2024/01/08/peregrine-moon-lander-launc...

> In addition to the NASA science experiments on board the Peregrine lander are cremated human remains and DNA collected by two private companies, Celestis and Elysium Space.

> People hoping to memorialize their loved ones or colleagues pay the companies thousands to send a few grams of cremated ashes to the moon in metal capsules.

It was visible as far south as northern San Antonio last night.

Gorsuch and Thomas want to rein it in. Read the article.
