Despite its unusual premise, the experiment is not at all a college humor stunt on the students’ part. Instead, the young engineers are hoping to understand how yeast behaves on the moon as this could have larger implications for the development of yeast-containing pharmaceuticals and foods. The ambitious engineering collective is one of 25 finalists partaking in the Lab2Moon competition…
