That was my first thought as well!
I suppose it’s nice to know how red wine ages in space. But given that the U.S. is a debtor nation, I would question why any American tax dollars are being spent on such studies.
Oh, wait. The article says that this study will “help prepare the world for the effects that climate change will have on agriculture...”. So it’s money well-spent after all.
(Or should I say money well-borrowed?)
Yes. And even if we’re were not a debtor nation there is no reason to waste resources on this.
