By Esther Adegoroye | Date: February 21, 2026 ABSTRACT    Space agriculture, the cultivation of food in extraterrestrial environments is no longer just futuristic speculation. With ongoing experiments on the International Space Station (ISS), upcoming lunar tests, and AI-driven systems launching in 2026, this field is advancing rapidly. It promises self-sustaining life support for Moon and Mars missions while delivering powerful spin-offs for Earth. This article introduces the topic in an eye-opening way, explores recent progress and dives into its global impact through links to SDG 2: Zero Hunger and SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production . INTRODUCTION     Space agriculture might sound like pure science fiction but it isn't!     It is the development of technologies and methods to grow crops in extraterrestrial (off-Earth) environments such as the International Space Station, the Moon, or Mars. It aims to support long-term human s...

Aerospace engineering is one of the fastest-growing industries and it is largely the design, construction and maintenance of aircraft, spacecraft, missiles and weapons systems. In short,  Aerospace engineering is the primary field of engineering concerned with the development of aircraft and spacecraft.  An Aerospace Engineer is a person who design , develop & test aircrafts, spacecraft, satellite & missiles. They develop technologies for use in Aviation, defense system & spacecraft. Note: Aerospace Engineering has 2 overlapping fields which are Aeronautical engineering & Astronautical engineering 1. Aeronautical Engineer works with aircraft  study aerodynamic performance of aircraft  work within Earth's Atmosphere 2.  Astronautical Engineer works with spacecraft  works within and outside Earth's Atmosphere Step to Step Guide to Become an Aerospace Engineer • D evelop strong Math & Science skills •Try getting involved (i.e partic...
