She began to wonder about the vast, cold blackness of the polar ocean. In early 2020, Hoppe found herself testing the limits of photosynthesis directly, camped aboard an icebreaker ship that had been ...

This is a similar reaction to photosynthesis in plants, which produces glucose instead of rocket fuel. In this case, the astronauts created the hydrocarbon ethylene, which can be used as rocket fuel.
