Slaughter-free beef: New beginning ??

Houston, we have a cultivated meat product ^!

The Delmonico brothers didn’t do it. Ronald McDonald didn’t do it. Neil Armstrong never even tried. Same goes for Julia Child.

None of these culinary giants or astronauts ever grew beef in space. That honor belongs to Aleph Farms of Rehovot, Israel. The company, a self-proclaimed “global leader in the cultivated meat industry,” collaborated with 3D Bioprinting Solutions of Moscow and others to produce slaughter-free beef in the Russian segment of the International Space Station in September.
The company released a press note "The actual process of growing a steak mimics natural “muscle-tissue regeneration occurring inside the cow’s body” and somehow uses a 3-D bioprinter to assemble “a small-scale muscle tissue.” We don’t really understand it, but the scientists and engineers here at LOTME Co. assure us it makes sense.
But why, you may ask, did they do it on the space station? Think of it as a stand-in for New York City. You know … if you can make it there, you can make it anywhere. We’ll let Didier Toubia, cofounder and CEO of Aleph Farms, explain: “In space, we don’t have 10,000 or 15,000 liter (3962.58 gallon) of water available to produce 1 kilogram (2.205 pounds) of beef.” It’s all about sustainable food production.

The next phase of the project, we think, is going to be even more interesting. For a proper fine dining experience in space, they’re going to grow a snooty French waiter to serve cultivated steak to the astronauts"
