NASA Astronauts Crack Mystery of Lost Space Tomato
TL;DR Summary
NASA astronaut Frank Rubio has been exonerated after being accused of eating the first space-grown tomato on the International Space Station (ISS). The tomato, grown as part of a NASA salad-growing experiment, went missing after Rubio took it out of a bag to show it off on a video call. Rubio spent 371 days in space and spent up to 20 hours searching for the tomato. The cultivation of plants in space aims to supplement astronauts' diets, which currently rely on rehydrated food.
