CRAP !!

It was the First rose to travel in space .

Space Shuttle Discovery STS-95 launched from Kennedy Space Center on 29th October 1998 and made history in several ways. Bill Clinton was the first serving US President to witness the launch of a space shuttle. Pedro Duque was the first Spaniard in space. Senator John Glenn, at 77 years old, became the oldest person at the time to lift off into space. The mission lasted just under nine days and involved 80 experiments. One of those was to test the "Overnight Scentsation" rose, how it adapted to life in orbit and how the reduced gravity would affect the essential oils in its stems. The results were astounding. Not only did the rose maintain the strength of its smell but it developed a different scent completely.
