CHINESE astronauts are preparing to grow fresh vegetables on Mars

"Chinese astronauts may get fresh vegetables and oxygen supplies by gardening in extra-terrestrial bases in the future," the report said, adding that the experiment was the first of its kind in China.

Yang Liwei said last month that Chinese astronauts may start a branch of China's ruling Communist Party in space, state media reported. If we establish a party branch in space, it would also be the 'highest' of its kind in the world

We are securing special Martian Jewels Corn seeds. Mars Clay Layer cake is also on the menu of possibilities.

Mars is also known as the "Red Planet" therefore China have natural sovereign rights to its territory. Thus, Mars will soon be added to the list of provinces and shall be designated a "Special Agricultural Development Zone". All Martians shall be issued with a Chinese identity card, be entitled to make dumplings at Spring Festival and shall be encouraged to make as much noise as possible during inter-terrestrial voyages.
