NASA
- NASA released a new image of the recently-recovered long-lost space tomatoes.
- Astronaut Frank Rubio misplaced the tomatoes in March while on the International Space Station.
- The fruits were found earlier this month slightly discolored and dehydrated.
Imagine what would happen to a tomato if you lost it in your home — here on Earth — and found it eight months later.
The red fleshy fruit would turn into a horrifically unrecognizable clump of white and black fuzz, worn down by time and bacteria.
Not in space.
