Lost Tomato Found on ISS After 8 Months, Clearing Astronaut of Accusations

NASA astronauts on the International Space Station have finally found a stray tomato that went missing for 8 months, clearing the astronaut who was jokingly accused of eating it. The tomato was grown as part of NASA's VEG-05 project, which studies crop growth in microgravity. The astronauts were given tomato samples but were told not to eat them due to potential fungal contamination. The tomato, a Red Robin dwarf variety, was found during a livestream interview, proving the innocence of the astronaut who accidentally let it float away. NASA has successfully grown various crops in space, including lettuce, cabbage, kale, and flowers.
