At 2:45 AM, we stood on Cocoa Beach and watched a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket carry our seeds from into orbit.

The Rhodium SpaceAg Veterans mission, led by fic, is sending these seeds to the Space Station National Laboratory to study how crops adapt beyond Earth’s atmosphere—knowledge that could teach us about growing resilient food systems here at home.

Moments like this remind us why we do what we do: food is infrastructure, on Earth and beyond.

Did you know Disney has a vertical farm inside EPCOT? 🌱

Our team got a behind-the-scenes look at their hydroponic and aquaponic systems on the tour. For us, it was a reminder that advanced agriculture isn’t just about production—it’s also about storytelling, education, and sparking curiosity in the next generation.

🚀 From space seeds to STEM dreams 🌱

Ojore, son of our CTO and a champ in and out of the pool, gets a first look at the seeds we sent to the International Space Station—and the systems we’re building back on Earth.

Because Seed to System isn’t just a catchphrase—it’s a launchpad. For curiosity. For discovery. For the next generation of thinkers, growers, and explorers.

Whether in a classroom or a lab, on Earth or beyond, we’re helping young minds take root.
