A company in California says it could be the first to grow food on Mars.

Local Roots Farms has developed an indoor farm that could feed astronauts on longer-term space missions.

They say their technology will also benefit the earth as it uses less water than traditional farming techniques.

Ever since the first moon landing in 1969, scientists have been looking for a way for humans to sustain a mission to the Red Planet. And while David Bowie may have sung about Life on Mars, a company in California says it may have found a way to grow food there.
