00:00:00.300 --> 00:00:02.600
How much would you pack for a trip to Mars?

00:00:03.600 --> 00:00:06.700
Astronauts will need a lot of stuff to survive the long journey

00:00:06.700 --> 00:00:09.500
there and back but with current technology it would take about

00:00:09.500 --> 00:00:10.700
when she went to space.

00:00:11.700 --> 00:00:14.600
Scientists at NASA's Ames Research Center in Silicon Valley

00:00:14.600 --> 00:00:19.800
Toronto case they're stating special bacteria called XO electricians

00:00:19.800 --> 00:00:23.400
that may be able to help these bacteria can generate electricity

00:00:23.400 --> 00:00:24.800
in tiny wires.

00:00:24.800 --> 00:00:28.000
They grow out of their selves this make some really handy because

00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:32.100
with some clever engineering they could be used to clean water

00:00:32.100 --> 00:00:36.300
and produce energy and supplies that astronauts need but don't

00:00:36.300 --> 00:00:39.500
know how Only grow in space or they can do other cool tricks

00:00:39.500 --> 00:00:43.400
up there to find out they're sending some of these electricity

00:00:43.400 --> 00:00:46.000
producing bacteria to the International Space Station.

00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:49.200
Will there be grown and tested in many different conditions

00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:52.500
the date of the scientist get back will help lay the groundwork

00:00:52.500 --> 00:00:56.800
for future better life support systems and the first laundry

00:00:56.800 --> 00:00:59.200
Shin human missions out into the solar system.
