It's gotta be hard to lose something when you're swirling around the Earth on the International Space Station — right? Well, apparently not. A missing tomato sparked a lighthearted mystery for the astronauts on board the ISS – and it's finally been solved after months of accusations and intrigue.
What is likely one of the first tomatoes ever harvested in space was plucked by astronaut Frank Rubio in March, shared in a post on X (formerly known as Twitter) by NASA. So when it makes sense that when it vanished, all finger pointing was directed at Rubio.

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel Off subject a bit maybe some will find funny. When I read the "ISS" part of this thread I immediately thought of "In School Suspension!" I wonder why!
