What Is The State Dinosaur Of Wyoming?
Did You Know!
Moon trees originated from seeds which travelled to the Moon and back.
In 1971, Stuart Roosa brought hundreds of seeds with him for his exploration to space on Apollo 14. The seeds were taken into orbit around the Moon, but they did not land. They spent 9 days in space before returning to Earth.
These seeds were left to care for by the U.S. Forest Service until they sprouted and were given out to be planted as soon as possible. Unfortunately, not all the moon trees have survived.
