Astronauts Grow Salad Greens, Eat Fresh Food in Space, a NASA First
Space farming reached an important milestone this week when astronauts got to eat fresh salad greens grown aboard the International Space Station.
Here's what we know so far about astronaut Scott Kelly's "Year in Space" based on the Twitter questions he's gotten from earth: He can see his house from space, he bathes with a wet towel, and only one question has ever freaked him out.
Kelly is taking questions on Twitter from earthlings who tag their tweets with #YEARINSPACE.
We use a wet towel. It's amazing what you can get used to. https://t.co/YJnhDg8yss

Hey @StationCDRKelly, loving the photos. Do you ever look out the window and just freak out?

I don't freak out about anything, Mr. President. Except getting a Twitter question from you.
