요약정보

"That's awesome." "It's good." "Tastes good. I like that. Kind of like arugula." "It's fresh."
After toasting their pieces of lettuce together with a quick "cheers‚" astronauts aboard the International Space Station took the first bites of food grown and harvested entirely in space.
The harvest was part of a NASA experiment aimed at developing the capability to grow fresh food on future deep space missions‚ such as to Mars.
They planted red romaine seeds in a small greenhouse on board ISS in early July‚ and used LED lights to foster plant growth.
But this is not the first time astronauts have succeeded in harvesting greens in space.
The first batch of harvested greens was sent back to Earth in October last year for safety analysis.
After ground-based tests concluded it was safe‚ this time the astronauts were allowed to tuck in.
Half of the harvested lettuce will be packaged and frozen until it can be returned to Earth for scientific analysis.
NASA says fresh food like the lettuce could provide not only health benefits for astronauts who currently rely on packaged food‚ but also keep them happier as they travel through space.
