Editing Pea (section)

== History of Cultivation in Space ==

While there is no specific history of Pisum sativum being cultivated in space, there have been experiments with growing plants in space environments. For example, NASA’s Veggie project has successfully grown lettuce and other crops on the International Space Station, demonstrating the feasibility of plant growth in microgravity. These experiments pave the way for future cultivation of crops like peas in space.
