NASA has recently begun research into whether or not Peruvian potatoes can grow on Mars. This is an attempt to see if life can be sustained on the planet. NASA will simulate an environment similar to Mars to see if the potatoes can still grow. Potatoes were chosen as a test crop because they are the most adaptable food staple. If the tests are successful then that could mean the human race would be one step closer to colonizing other planets.
