00:00:00,310 --> 00:00:07,129
Hey I'm Jack Fox of Kennedy Space Center lets
go Inside KSC.

2
00:00:07,129 --> 00:00:10,910
More lettuce and cabbage seeds are bound for
the International Space Station after

3
00:00:10,910 --> 00:00:16,589
scientists at Kennedy placed them carefully
inside 18 "pillows" specially designed to

4
00:00:16,589 --> 00:00:19,359
allow
seed growth in microgravity.

5
00:00:19,359 --> 00:00:25,050
The small pillows will go into orbit aboard
the SpaceX CRS-7 mission.

6
00:00:25,050 --> 00:00:30,679
Astronauts will tend the plants as they grow
inside the Veggie experiment.

7
00:00:30,679 --> 00:00:36,290
The 3-mile-long shuttle landing facility at
Kennedy, known as the SLF, has been signed

8
00:00:36,290 --> 00:00:38,800
over
to Space Florida for the management of its

9
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:40,540
every day workings.

10
00:00:40,540 --> 00:00:45,460
The SLF is a unique facility originally built
to host the landings of the space shuttle

11
00:00:45,460 --> 00:00:46,340
fleet.

12
00:00:46,340 --> 00:00:51,280
Numerous companies have been using it in recent
years for aerospace evaluations and that

13
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:53,550
is expected to continue.

14
00:00:53,550 --> 00:00:58,600
It is also popular for automotive research
and development since it is a very safe, wide-open

15
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:02,960
concrete area that gives optimum testing conditions.
