Hyacinth's Tales, Update 1

-
Chapter One Hyacinth, a young eleven-year-old teenager who preferred the name Cynthi, stroked her loving cat Moon and sighed. Across the room, behind a screen that made up a sort of wall, her twin brother John grumbled about how Mom wouldn't buy him a dog. Cut into the screen, a door-sized opening covered by a thin, ratty old purple blanket made a makeshift door.  Hyacinth could hear her three-year-old sister Lillith yelling "Daddy! Daddy! Give me a hug!" and their mother's friend and employee, Stan, shouting "I'M NOT YOUR DAD! AAAGH! LEAVE ME ALONE YOU CRAZY BABY!"

So you know how I'm part of the FLL team the LEGO Lassies? You might not know about this, so check out these   three posts  for more information. This year's theme is Into Orbit, and the problem we chose to solve was that astronauts aren't getting enough sugar while they're in space. We decided to solve this problem by growing sugar beets on Mars.  This is a sugar beet   We've decided to assume that there's already a colony on Mars, and that the currently ongoing CO₂ Challenge, in which NASA has asked anyone with access to a lab to try to create oxygen out of carbon dioxide, has failed. So the solution to the lack of sugar in space is to grow sugar beets on the colony in Mars. Sugar beets produce twice as much sugar per pound as sugar cane does, as well as growing faster and using less water. Unlike sugar cane, sugar beets can be processed into sugar on a small scale, and don't require a huge factory. This means that sugar beets are very efficient an...
