Since in space there is nothing for it to grow on so it would get expensive for a supply chain

You propose instead to shuttle supplies endlessly and then shuttle the shit back

And you can transport live animals too 🤔

You can literally transport animals once

Good luck sending animals for food to a mars colony

Very cheap, very affordable business

You send it once?

And then they

GROW

Because they weigh nothing

Seed weight is so much more than a fucking cow

You know what also weighs a lot?

All of the metal

feathers

And other construction eqipment

Man, either you try to troll at this point or you tarded

For the Mars colony

If you're making a fully functioning Mars colony

I would rather grow blueberries on Mars

Weight becomes not such a big deal

Because you have so much weight to transport already

Adding say a chicken coop to the Mars colony would add a negligible weight

Compared to all of the other shit you'd need to build a functioning colony

And I dunno about cows

They're not such a good animal

For expeditions

Usually chickens and rabbits

And other small quick growing animals

Are more efficient

1 kg of weight to put into orbit costs $20 000

In current technology

Note how we don't currently have a Mars colony

1kg of seeds <=> 1 cow

Because the cost is prohibitively expensive

Well, when we will have hyperdrives... we can move the goalposts at the lightspeed

The Mars colony would be an in between step and you know it lol

But considering we don't even have small huts on the moon

There's no way in hell were getting a full Martian colony without huge leaps in engineering

Having seeds of plants and fungi that have everything a human needs is the most optimal solution to this date. You are trying to argue against the reality and failing.
