Moon seeds from 1971 have grown into 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 14 astronaut carried around 500 tree seeds to the Moon. After returning, the seeds were germinated and planted across the United States and elsewhere, growing into tall, mature trees known as the Moon Trees. Half a century later, many still stand, and the story of this unusual space experiment is being shared widely online.
Why now: The striking story of seeds that traveled to the Moon and became living trees is resurfacing as a feel-good piece of space history.
