Making beer on the moon might seem like a pipe dream to many. but for a group of students from the University of California at San Diego, there is a chance to take their research beyond Earth's surface.
The Lab2Moon competition, held by Teamlndus, is offering students the chance to secure a spot on the Teamlndus rocket this year.
Taking craft beer to the next level, the students want to test whether it's possible for yeast(酵母) to work and create beer on the moon However, they believe the experiment is not just a creative concept for astronauts, it's also important for the development of drugs and yeast-containing foods, like bread.
\Ashari, a fifth-year bioengineering student at UC San Diego. \all appreciate the craft of beer When we heard that there was an opportunity to design an experiment that would go up on India, s moonlander, we thought we could combine our hobby with the competition by focusing on the practicality o yeast in outer space. \
The preparation.work for the beer-up to the stage of adding yeast-will all be done on Earth, and rather than separating the fermentation(发酵) and carbonation stages of making beer, the team plans to combine them. Thrs removes the need to release CO2 accumulated in the process, which may result in cleanliness and safety issues out in space. If selected, Team Original Gravity will be the first to make beer in outer space, and the fermentation will take place in a vessel no bigger than a soda can
All teams competing for the place will showcase their ideas in Bangalore, India, in March Sadly, you won't be enjoying moon beer in your local craft beer bar' anytime soon, as no samples will be brought back However, this small experiment could provide important data on just how practical it is for us to make and create our own resources

Abandoned around 900 years ago soon after its decoration started, Ta Keo has been revived by Chinese and Cambodian experts. The Angkor complex spreads over an area of 400 square kilometers. It was inscribed on the World Heritage List in 1992. However, due to heavy rains, stealing and lack of protection for centuries, most temples of Angkor were seriously damaged.
In order to better protect and conserve these pearls of human civilization, China joined ICC-Angkor, an international campaign launched by Cambodia and UNESCO in 1993. From Chausay Tevada to Ta Keo, the Chinese team has earned trust and established a good reputation.
\This gives Ta Keo irreplaceable value in the study of Angkor's architecture, \Jin Zhaoyu, an engineer from the CACH(中国文化遗产研究院).
Such uniqueness, however, presented greater challenges. Compared with Chausay Tevada, it covers a larger area and has more risks including unsteady stone structures, a poor drainage system and fallen key parts.
\leaving little information of its relations with other parts, \
Jin showed archives of those fallen parts, each with its ID file, picture and dimensions. \will grow wider as you restore it and an accurate restoration will be impossible,\said Jin \the fallen parts and putting them back perfectly. \
To better understand the temple's structure and precisely restore it, the team applied the most advanced technologies, including 3D laser scanning and mapping, structural research and drone recording, to build a complete digital model of Ta Keo. Jin demonstrated the 3D model system, with which they restored the temple hundreds of times. \
