Celestial Lettuce Farm

Astronauts will soon be growing their own lettuce aboard the ISS as part of a new project due to arrive later this week via the Space X Dragon cargo ship. The experiment, dubbed 'Veg-01,' aims to see how well vegetables can grow while in orbit. Should it prove safe and successful, researchers hope that it will allow for more extensive gardening aboard the ISS. More on the story at Space.com.
