Moon trees

, , , Edit
So what's so important about that tree over there that it needs it's own plaque? We'll the fact that this tree has been to the Moon and back.

During the Apollo 14 mission, one of the astronauts, Stuart Roosa, brought with him a handful of seeds, which successfully survived the trip and later even managed to grow into full-grown trees, as they were planted all over the US.

    interesting, I wonder if they have ever tried to grow anything in zero g? do you know if the "moon" tree had any side effects of going to the moon?
