THESE TACOS ARE OUT OF THIS WORLD.

Literally.  "NASA has announced that it has successfully cultivated chile peppers in space for the first time ever. It is the latest breakthrough in a project investigating which crops can be taken to Mars."  It's a development I should be over the moon about.  But what do the astronauts do in the absence of bees?

The peppers were grown from the Española Improved chile which is found in New Mexico's Hatch Valley.

NASA has previously said that it is one of the few chiles that can be "consumed in both the green and red stages of the pepper’s development".

The space agency has also explained that peppers are particularly tricky to grow in space compared to other crops as "they take longer to germinate, grow, and develop fruit".

In my experience, hot days are an important part of the growing season.
