Tomatoes missing from NASA for 8 months are finally found! At the end of last year, NASA began an experiment on the International Space Station. The goal of the experiment was to grow dwarf tomatoes under different light conditions in space and return the ripe fruits to Earth for research. Astronaut Frank Rubio was one of the people responsible for growing the tomatoes at the time.
In March this year, these tomatoes had a good harvest. Several astronauts tasted them and rated them based on taste, texture, etc. However, the tomatoes assigned to Rubio disappeared.A colleague joked that he couldn’t help but eat it secretly before trying it..
After returning to Earth, Rubio said he put the tomatoes into a small bag.However, it floated away because it was not fixed properly., you must know that the International Space Station is huge, so it is not easy to find such a small tomato.
After staying on the space station for 371 days and returning to Earth, Rubio did not find the tomato. It seemed to have suddenly evaporated.
Earlier this month, during a live broadcast celebrating the 25th anniversary of the International Space Station, NASA astronaut Mogbeli laughed and said that he had found what someone had been looking for, "Now our good friend's crime of "stealing" can be washed away.. "
It is said to have been misplaced, but the astronauts did not mention the specific hiding place of the tomato during the live broadcast.
