Moon Trees: Cosmic Seeds of Apollo 14

In 1971, NASA astronaut Stuart Roosa carried around 500 tree seeds to lunar orbit aboard Apollo 14. Upon their return, the seeds were germinated, and "Moon Trees" were planted across the U.S. in 1976. These trees include loblolly pines, sycamores, and sweetgums, thriving as earthly markers of a cosmic journey, bridging space exploration with nature.
