The first of multiple swing arms, called umbilicals, for the mobile launcher 2 arrived at the Kennedy Space Center. The Exploration Upper Stage umbilical will provide power, communications, and propellants to the larger configuration of the SLS rocket for crew and cargo deliveries to the Moon. NASA astronauts Shane Kimbrough, Megan McArthur, and Mark Vande Hei – and Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency astronaut Aki Hoshide – became the first to eat peppers grown in space. The group sampled seven freshly harvested mild heat chile peppers aboard the International Space Station.
