Default Space Tomatoes

My son finished up his school year last week and on the last day his teacher gave him a peat pod with 4 seedlings in it. They had planted the seeds as part of a class project and had let them germinate on the teacher's desk in the classroom. The seeds were flown in the International Space Station and then distributed to elementary schools. Unfortunately my son doesn't remember anything past "these seeds flew in space", so we don't know when they flew or what variety they are. He asked for them since we have tomatoes planted and he wanted to grow his own "Space Tomatoes". The seedlings had just gotten their first true leaves when he brought them home so we potted them up individually and they seem to be doing fine. Now I have to find a place for 4 more tomato plants so we can figure out what they are.
