NASA astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS) have successfully grown fresh food in space for the first time ever! The Veggie experiment, which uses a plant growth system called the Vegetable Production System (Veggie), has produced red romaine lettuce that was harvested and eaten by the crew.

The Veggie experiment is a critical part of NASA's Journey to Mars, as it will help to ensure that future astronauts have access to fresh food during long-duration exploration missions. The experiment is also important for scientific research, as it is helping scientists to learn more about how plants grow in microgravity.

This video takes a look at the Veggie experiment and the challenges and successes of growing fresh food in space. It also features interviews with NASA astronauts and scientists who have been involved in the project.
