NASA astronaut and flight engineer Kate Rubins harvested the first-ever radish crop grown on the International Space Station. She wrapped in foil each of the 20 radish plants, placing them in cold storage to be returned to Earth in 2021. The space-grown radishes will be compared to the radishes grown at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
