(Gene J. Puskar/AP)Budweiser made a bold announcement last spring when the company said that when humans reach Mars, its beer will also be there. Twenty barley seeds will be sent to space aboard Space X’s cargo supply mission, which will launch Dec. 4 from Cape Canaveral in Florida. Budweiser acknowledged that sending beer to the Red Planet would entail several logistical and physical challenges, however. How the ingredients needed to make Budweiser would be cultivated in a place devoid of life remains a big question. NASA’s long-term goal is to send humans to Mars by the 2030s.
