Are they providing seeds from that tomato? I want to grow my own space tomatoes. Though eating salad in zero gravity could be tricky.

There is a program for schools that has the kids growing seeds that visited space. I don't know who all participates, our schools do it here in Alberta, Canada.

My niece put hers on the schoolbus seat when it was stopping, she was absolutely devastated that she killed her special space plant. Luckily her mom was one of the teachers in the program and had some spare back-up seeds from her class.
