Mini-Review (click to view--possible spoilers)

Review: 2019.118 (A Word for Authors)

Pro: It’s a nice exploration of the sort of problems a real lunar base might encounter if it tried to be self-sufficient in food.

Con: It’s kind of hard to believe that no one thought of the importance of saprophytes in this ecology before this.
