Dr. Gioia Massa, the principal investigator of the Veggie experiment, discusses the past, present and future of an exciting technology demonstration project on the International Space Station. This week station crew members harvested the second crop of space-grown lettuce, and for the first time they ate some of the harvest. The Veggie portable greenhouse is a proof of concept effort to advance the ability for future deep space explorers to grow some of their own food on missions well beyond low Earth orbit.
