== History of Cultivation in Space ==

While there is no specific history of '''Capsicum''' cultivation in space, there have been experiments with growing plants in space environments. For example, NASA’s Veggie project has successfully grown lettuce and other crops on the International Space Station (ISS), demonstrating the feasibility of controlled-environment agriculture in space. These experiments lay the groundwork for future cultivation of a variety of crops, including '''Capsicum''', in space.
