Read an article about this a couple of years ago, potatoes would not grow in Martian soil due to sulfur issues. Way to much in solution.

Interesting. I bet broccoli would grow there. If man is going to spread to the stars, the worst food imaginable would go with him...

I was hoping for a plexi-glass dome, or something like that, where you could still see the sun. Living underground in artificial light seems like.... not fun.

It’s always troubled me that we apply earth “life” standards to other planets. For all we know, the Mars rover may have wiped out trillions of martian living things.
