The MOON vs. MARS ~ Solar Energy and Growing Crops ~ (Episode 4/6)

The Moon and Mars have become the focus of various space programs for future colonization, but how will we generate energy and grow crops?

How much sunlight is there on the Moon?
How much sunlight is there on Mars?
How effective would solar panels be on the Moon and Mars?
Can plants grow on the Moon?
Can plants grow on Mars?
How much energy do hydroponics use?
How much space is needed for a hydroponic farm?
