NASA Astronauts Rediscover Long-Lost Tomato in Space Station

NASA astronauts at the International Space Station have found the first tomato ever grown in space, which had been lost for 8 months. The tomato was grown in March as part of a NASA experiment to grow produce in space for longer-term missions. American astronaut Frank Rubio, who holds the record for longest spaceflight, harvested the tomato but misplaced it after taking it out of a Ziploc bag to show some students. Rubio spent hours searching for it but assumed it had been discarded. The tomato's discovery clears Rubio's name from accusations of eating it. The condition and location of the tomato were not disclosed.
