    I know this is a meme but actually looking into this is very interesting, the question being answered is “how can we build on distant planets” which scientists from Manchester university have tried to answer with human waste products and space dust. Any food production on a ship will be for consumption so while potato’s are a good choice on earth in reality growing potato’s on distant planets pose more question than answers.
