It’s kind of funny, we have a lot of fun making up these different acronyms. And this one, PESTO, what it stands for is Photosynthesis Experiment and System Testing Operations. Not necessarily what you put on your pasta…in the initial, original proposal, that’s what it was titled, PASTA. So when the experiment got changed to a long-duration space station experiment, we had to come up with a new name. So we went from the original name of PASTA to the long-duration space station experiment that we call PESTO.
