Tomatoes are finally found on the International Space Station. Astronauts have finally put an end to what has been described as one of the greatest mysteries in the universe. The first fruits of tomatoes grown on the space station were missing. American astronaut Frank Rubio, who holds the record for a 370-day space flight, grew tomato plants in the station in March. The tomato was found eight months after it went missing. This experiment was part of growing vegetables and other things in space for future long-duration missions.
Red Robin tomatoes were grown as part of a NASA experiment. Frank Rubio kept the harvested tomatoes in zip-lock envelopes. But this was missing. Frank Rubio described harvesting these tomatoes as a moment of great pride. Rubio also commented on tomatoes in an October interview with NASA. Rubio responded by saying that he searched for tomatoes for 18 to 20 hours but was unable to find them and ended the search. But some other astronauts explained that Rubio himself may have eaten tomatoes without remembering.
All these conclusions end with the discovery of the tomato. The tomato plant was the first to be harvested and cultivated in space. The first result of this was the disappearance of tourists. NASA astronaut Jasmine Mogbeli said the packet of tomatoes went unnoticed because of the weightlessness of objects in space. Rubio explained that the missing tomatoes on the International Space Station, which is the size of six bedrooms, may have accidentally ended up in the trash and dried out before returning to Earth.
Rubio responded in October that he hoped that someday someone would find it and that some crumpled up stuff in a Ziploc bag would prove to them that I didn’t eat tomatoes in space. Mogbeli did not elaborate on where the tomatoes were found or what condition they were in.
