If or when humans get to the red planet, one of the next big questions is: What will they eat there? Would it even be possible to have a healthy, or hopefully tasty, diet on a planet that doesn’t resemble Earth?
In a corner of a greenhouse at Villanova University, in a leafy suburb of Philadelphia, Edward Guinan, a professor of astrophysics and planetary science, has been experimenting to see what could grow on Mars. He started this project as part of a class in 2017. The goal was to grow a variety of crops in conditions retrofitted to resemble Mars.
Trying to grow anything there comes with some limitations.

Chip I have to be honest, pardon my language, I don't give a flying monkey foot. I am not going to mars, my wife and son are not going to mars. Well I am pretty sure they are not going to mars, oh hell, maybe are they are already going. Never mind Chip.
