NASA has sent twelve bottles of red wine to the International Space Station (ISS) in an unusual science experiment.
The wine is part of a 12-month experiment being conducted by the Luxembourg startup Space Cargo Unlimited to study how the aging process of wine is affected by microgravity in space.
As...
