Lost in Space: NASA Discovers Long-Lost Tomato After 8 Months

NASA has released footage of two tomatoes that were lost in space for 8 months after being harvested by astronaut Frank Rubio on the International Space Station. The tomatoes were found dehydrated and slightly squished, but showed no visible microbial or fungal growth. The incident highlighted the effects of humidity on food in space and the importance of developing techniques for growing fresh food during future space exploration missions. NASA is conducting various experiments, such as VEG-05 and Planet Habitat-03, to study plant growth in space and its potential benefits for astronauts' psychological well-being.
