If even half of that comes to pass it will be an interesting year indeed. That is my kind of clickbait.

I am very interested in Science and it may have been a bit cynical to have searched for 2018 break-throughs predicted in 2017.
Apart from Bitcoins destined to be the currency of Mars and the Moon, I don't think we've advanced this year as much as hoped or anticipated. Still, that shouldn't dampen enthusiasm.

Agreed, however consider the source "NBC", a bit of truth mixed with sensationalism (IMO).

What a load of bollocks.

New Food Product

A Finnish company that makes food [a flour-like product] from electricity, water and air has said it plans to have 50m meals’ worth of its product sold in supermarkets within two years.

Solar Foods is also working with the European Space Agency to supply astronauts on a mission to Mars after devising a method it says creates a protein-heavy product that looks and tastes like wheat flour at a cost of €5 (£4.50) per kilo.

It is produced through a process similar to brewing beer. Living microbes are put in liquid and fed with carbon dioxide and hydrogen bubbles, which have been released from water through the application of electricity. The microbes create protein, which is then dried to make the powder.

Dr Pasi Vainikka, the chief executive of the tech startup, said the company had produced a carbon-neutral way to produce a fully natural protein source without wasting land or water. Pre-engineering on a full-scale factory had just started, he added.

“It is a completely new kind of food, a new kind of protein, different to all the food on the market today in how it is produced as it does not need agriculture or aquaculture,” he said.
