Students Grow Flying Sauce

Jim Wilkes, Science Reporter

TORONTO - In the cult movie classic Attack of the Killer Tomatoes, mutant vegetables
cut a deadly swath through the community, consuming everyone in their path.
But Canadian astronaut Bob Thirsk says Toronto students cultivating tomato seeds
from space shouldn’t worry about like imitating art.
“There should be no fear on the part of teachers or parents about any toxic fruit
growing from these tomato plants,” said Thirsk, who flew aboard the shuttle Columbia
on a 17-day mission in 1996.
He said he’ll eat tomatoes produced from the high-flying seeds or use them to make
salsa or ketchup.
Thirsk visited students at St. Cecillia Catholic School on Annette St. yesterday to
check up on their experiments with tomato seeds taken into space by astronaut Mark
Garneau.
The Tomatosphere project involves 2,500 secondary school classrooms across
Canada growing 400,000 seeds, half of which made the trip to space. Space plants
are said to grow faster and taller.
“The space-flown seeds made 170 orbits of the Earth, travelled more than 7 million
kilometers and spent 12 days weightless,” Thirsk said.
At the end of June, schools will send results of their experiment to the Canadian Space
Agency which will compile the date and make conclusions.
Thirsk said the program is designed to introduce space science to young Canadians.
“I can see that in these classrooms we have potential future Canadian scientists and
astronauts,” he said. “I find that incredibly exciting.”
