Scott Kelly, an astronaut who is on a mission One-Year, romaine lettuce was planted on August 8 yesterday and has reached harvest within 33 days.Looks simple, but in fact is not that easy. They do not just sowing seeds, watering every day, then enjoy the harvest.Because in space there is no plot of land for the plant, the astronauts apply Veggie system.

Veggie system is considered successful growing plants in 2014, but the results still have to be brought back to Earth.According to NASA, need to be tested in order to know that the plant is safe for consumption, given the open air in the space environment could contaminate it.
Well, because it has got the 'blessing' of NASA, astronauts on the ISS crew was able to eat it. They live lettuce wiping it with special food sterile wipes. The astronauts also have to set aside the vegetables are to be brought to Earth for study.
