NASA’s SpaceX Crew-6 will answer media questions at 2:40 p.m. EDT Wednesday, Aug. 23, about their mission aboard International Space Station prior

After Frank Rubio misplaced the first tomato ever harvested in space, the astronaut’s colleagues have exonerated him.

NASA astronauts have finally found a tomato that was “lost in space” after floating away for eight months. Amazingly, NASA astronauts have found ways to sustain themselves with nutritious food in space by growing fruit and vegetables on the International Space Station (ISS).

Expedition 70 NASA astronaut Jasmin Moghbeli announced that the International Space Station crew found a tomato lost by fellow NASA astronaut Frank Rubio after the harvest during a previous mission that lasted a year in space.

When the world's first space-harvested tomato mysteriously vanished, people thought it fell prey to an astronaut. They were wrong.

NASA astronaut and U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel Frank Rubio cultivated the first tomato ever grown in space last March, but the fruit mysteriously floated away.
