NASA Gives Update on Long-Lost Space Tomatoes
UPI | December 14, 2023 | Ben Hooper
Dec. 15 (UPI) — NASA offered an update on the two tomatoes lost for eight months aboard the International Space Station and offered the first look at the dehydrated fruits.
The tomatoes, among the first ever grown in space, were originally suspected to have been eaten by astronaut Frank Rubio, who insisted they were merely lost somewhere on the station, and Expedition 70 crew members recently revealed Rubio was exonerated, as they had located the long-lost foods eight months later.
NASA has now provided a first look at the tomatoes, which are dehydrated and squished, but astronauts said they showed no visible signs of microbial or fungal growth, despite the high humidity aboard the station.
The space agency said the tomatoes were discarded by the station crew.
All I know is I would have sneaked a couple of jalapeños on board and made some killer picante sauce with it.
They were hoping to prove that there was a duplicate key…
… using astronomic logic…
I don’t know what NASA plans, but I am downloading “Puberty Love” to my phone so it can ways be handy, just in case.
In Heinz sight, maybe they should have kept them to throw at John Kerry upon returning…
Space bacon & lettuce? On marble rye? Mayo? (NOT Miracle Whip!)
Sure, I know Space Tomatoes. I have both of their albums.
Just keep them away from my sister.
Discarded, unlike the control specimen, which remains in the office of President of the United States.
