"Lost Tomato Found in Space: NASA Astronaut Cleared of Accusations"
NASA astronauts have finally located a 1-inch tomato that was lost in space for over 8 months. The tomato, part of the Veg-05 experiment, was lost by astronaut Frank Rubio after an off-Earth harvest in March. The tomato's remains were found by another ISS crew, exonerating Rubio from blame. The incident turned into an inside joke for Rubio, who had spent hours searching for the tomato. The discovery highlights the challenges of growing plants in microgravity and could provide insights for future missions to the moon or Mars.
