TL;DR Summary

Astronaut Frank Rubio lost a tomato on the International Space Station (ISS) eight months ago, but it has finally been found. The tomato was part of ongoing experiments into growing crops on the ISS, and its disappearance was a challenge in the microgravity environment. Rubio spent hours searching for the tomato, which is highly prized by astronauts who primarily eat prepackaged foods. Growing fresh produce in space is important for both physical and mental health. The tomato reappeared during a livestream celebrating the ISS's 25th anniversary.
