Is it possibale to grow enough plants in a spaceship to provide enough oxygen so that life can survive a long trip in space?

The temperature in space is -455F. Yes, that's negative 455 degrees Fahrehneit! Space is also a vacuum, with absolutely no atmosphere. There are no plants, known to humans, that can survive under these conditions.
Astronauts have grown plants onboard spacecrafts, but these plants were grown with a simulated atmosphere, similar to the atmosphere on earth (temperature controlled, gases present, etc.)

And experiments aboard SkyLab and the International Space Station indicates that it will be possible, IF your ship is large enough. So far, we haven't tested it on a large enough scale to really make a difference, but there is no reason why we shouldn't be able to sustain ourselves quite nicely for long space voyages.

What is the one thing earth has to sustain life?
Earth has many things which are necessary to sustain life. Water is essential for life, as well as an atmosphere with abundant oxygen and it is the perfect distance from the sun to provide us with enough heat and energy to survive.
Can a spaceship go through Jupiter?
Close enough for good research, yes. One space probe has even been parachuted down into Jupiter's atmosphere and sent back information to earth.
What is away that humans could increase the earth's carrying capacity for our species?
Humans need to maintain enough space and resources to increase the earth's capacity for all species. They have to make sure that they and other people have enough to survive.
What moves faster a spaceship or a space station?
A space station only has to go fast enough to achieve orbit. A spaceship has to go fast enough to break out of orbit and get where it is going. So, a spaceship.
What do astronauts need to stay alive in space?
they need oxygen, food, water, spaceship, and a heat source to survive!
What is a key difference between the popular spaceship framework and Garrett Hardin's lifeboat framework?
In the spaceship framework, humans share the limited resoursed of the Earth; in the lifeboat framework, there are enough resources for some and not others. -apex :)
Can plants still provide food when they have no water?
no, in order for a plant to survive water is vital. it provides for structural integrity in the plant as well as carrying out important functions in ATP production. If a plant is not given water it will not survive long enough to provide food.
What major characteristics that help it survive its evironment?
An animal (or perhaps a plant) needs to provide for its own offspring to live long enough to provide for them to live long enough to reproduce. Survival techniques such as superior predation or environmental adaptations also help. Firstmate
