      That makes me think that we shouldn’t bring potatoes there. They’ll become too strong, unstoppable.

          Irish astronaut

          This made me ask “has there ever been such a thing?”

          The answer is apparently “not yet,” but Dr. Norah Patten will potentially be the first, sometime within a year or so.
