From space to soil: What are Moon Trees? NASA finds new homes for them
NASA meticulously selected organizations nationwide to receive Moon Tree seedlings from the Artemis I mission. These seedlings, having circled the Moon, will now be planted in various communities. The selection criteria focused on the ability of institutions to care for diverse tree species and enhance educational opportunities. The concept of Moon trees originated from seeds flown aboard Apollo 14 in 1971, championed by Edward P. Cliff and astronaut Stuart Roosa.
