When Matt Damon became stranded on the Red Planet in Ridley Scott’s 2015 sci-fi The Martian, his survival became dependent on a multitude of complex factors, least of all his ability to grow potatoes in his own shit. When the rest of us, finally go to Mars we’ll hopefully found a solution to the Potato Problem (vast bags of frozen McCains, maybe).

Yes, not decades, but years.
