🧵 Chinese new space breakthrough

Chinese astronauts aboard the Tiangong space station have achieved an unprecedented milestone: artificial photosynthesis in space. As part of the Shenzhou-19 mission, they have managed to transform carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and rocket fuel components, using only solar energy.

Is the ability to do this in space remarkable or something that could be done but no one bothered with doing because doing it in space doesn't offer many advantages at this time?

It's not very remarkable since it's largely pointless. You can do this in your garage with a chemistry set and a solar panel I guess. The reason why it doesn't make sense is because you still have to haul up what ever you plan to make the fuel out off so you may as well haul up the fuel. Besides it's not like electrolysis in space or what ever is a new thing.
It's scientifically interesting but OP is unfortunately a spambot so best ignored.

It's photosynthesis not electrolysis.
CO2 -> O2
not
H2O -> O2
But please tell me how you can achieve photosynthesis in your garage with a chemistry set and a solar panel.

It's not photosynthesis, it's electrolysis because it's using electricity from the panels to break up water and combine it with carbon dioxide, not using plants that use sunlight (which has been done as well). Also electrolysis by itself already makes rocket fuel.

The same way they do it in space, hook up some water and co2 with electricity and catalyst and out comes hydrocarbons and oxygen.

Not as amazing as they make it sound. It's a long way from actually being used in practical application. We did it on Earth decades ago and it's still not economical.

Pretty neat. This will be useful for when we begin to extract water from things like the moon or asteroids or whatever.
But for now the problem is hauling the water from earth out to space.
We need the water to already be in space, so it must be extracted from the planets we visit in the future.

Yeah, well I do NaClO3+H2O2 in my bathroom to make singlet oxygen, and it has more current practical applications.

What do you do with singlet oxygen?
