Scientists say they have discovered an amazingly resilient plant that may someday help astronauts colonize Mars. And it’s not some genetically engineered freaky creation – it’s moss! Chinese botanists put the desert-dwelling moss “Syntrichia caninervis” through a series of tests simulating the harsh Martian environment, and found that it is not only radiation-tolerant, it can also survive extreme conditions that would kill most other plants. The Chinese Academy of Sciences researchers wrote that the plant is “a promising candidate pioneer plant for colonizing extraterrestrial environments, laying the foundation for building biologically sustainable human habitats beyond Earth.”

Taco Bell is opening what it is calling an “early retirement community” for its Rewards Members. The fast-food chain will host a 2-day elder-inspired experience this weekend at The Cantinas resort in San Diego, where a bunch of Taco Bell’s biggest fans will get together and experience what life is like as a retiree, enjoying things like crochet classes, pickleball and poolside cocktails. The company said this is a “chance to embrace and fuel youth culture’s slow living, senior-at-heart lifestyle.” Taco Bell Rewards members, who are forking out $150 for a “weekend membership” that includes overnight accommodation and dining, will also be able to enjoy early morning tee times, aerobics classes, and arts and crafts, “before drifting off to sleep at 8pm, after an early bird dinner.”
