Moon trees: 500 seeds flown to the Moon in 1971 now giant trees on Earth
Original: En 1971, un astronauta llevó 500 semillas hasta la Luna. Medio siglo después son árboles gigantes repartidos por la Tier
In 1971 an Apollo astronaut carried 500 tree seeds to the Moon, and half a century later those seeds have grown into giant trees scattered across the Earth. The story of these so-called 'Moon trees' from the Apollo 14 mission is being shared as a striking example of how a space experiment left a living legacy on our planet.
Why now: The fiftieth-anniversary framing of the Apollo 14 Moon seeds is being recirculated as a feel-good space history story.
