As to the meat-for-space attempt...

>However the article stated that it could be used for vegetarians who
longed for bacon and didn't want to kill an animal.  So just
spaceflights wouldn't be the only market for these grown meats.<

Hmm, for vegetarians anyway they'd need to figure out some growth medium for
the stuff other than calf blood serum (that's what they used as the
hydroponics part). Or there'd be another flap like the one over McD's
fries...
