**if potatoes can grow under Mars atmospheric conditions and thereby prove they are also able to grow in extreme climates on Earth**

I am not a potato scientist, but if we want to see if they can grow in extreme climates on Earth, maybe, just maybe we should just try that!

The potato was originally discovered in Peru.

Being Irish by heritage, I am delighted to hear this.

Now, the only remaining question is, can one brew beer there?

If so, I’m ready to go.

Well, with the launch of Spudnik the Russkies proved they could grow in space.

Begs the question...how long do we spend trying to find evidence of life on Mars before we just plant some there?

I’ll bet if they just planted a single Kudzu vine with the next probe, in 10 years it would be a green planet. (Kudzu jokes to follow...)

Or following that same line of reasoning, they say that ants, cock roaches, and certain insects will out live the nuclear war. Why not deliver a nest of those? It doesn’t sound like what you would like to populate a planet with, but over time, they might accumulate the organic decay matter that makes it possible for other life to take hold...

Why would they build a cubesat to test these taters?

And if deep fryers will work there we could make potato chips.

I can pass on the potatoes, but if they make Mars bars there, might be of interest.
