By Rachel LeishmanFeb 5th, 2021, 2:09 pm According to NASA, Command Module Pilot Stuart Roosa brought a canister of approximately 400-500 loblolly pine, sweetgum, redwood, Douglas fir, and sycamore tree seeds with him while he was on Apollo 14 Command and Service Module Kitty Hawk. Those seeds, when they returned to Earth, were then planted around the United States, and now we can go see these trees all grown up. So why is that exciting? Because, technically, they went to the Moon. Can’t believe trees went to space before I did. But more than that, it shows the brilliance of those who went to the moon throughout our time in space and the experiments they did and what they wanted to bring with them (and subsequently bring back to Earth, as well).
