*I've decided to post this here because of this particular:
Heinz has ventured to space previously via a program called Tomatosphere, sponsored by Heinz Canada. Tomatosphere - a research project that involved more than 6,000 classrooms of students from grades 2 through 10 across Canada, the United States and several other nations - sent a half-million tomato seeds into space and then returned them in August 2005 on the space shuttle Discovery in order to learn whether seeds exposed to the harshness of outer space could still germinate and grow. This year, students will grow tomatoes from these seeds.
I don't recall having read of this before...perhaps a memory slip.
Entire article is interesting.

It sounds like the start of one of those classic '50s B-movies.
