Those fresh apples aren’t all that fresh, per say. They’re usually picked between August and November, covered in wax, hot-air dried, and sent into cold storage. After six to twelve months, they finally land on your grocery store shelves.

It's not exactly a race against the clock though. NASA can feel free to pause the clock to check mechanical difficulties.
