Ollie uncovers the true story of the Moon Trees-tree seeds that traveled into space on a NASA mission and came back to Earth to grow. Back in 1971, NASA astronaut and former firefighter Stuart Roosa carried hundreds of tree seeds aboard Apollo 14. While other astronauts walked on the Moon, these tiny seeds orbited Earth in the harsh conditions of space-no air, extreme temperatures, and zero gravity. Scientists wanted to answer a big question: can living things survive space travel and still grow? The results might surprise you. Today, Moon Trees are quietly growing in parks, schools, and communities around the world-some over 50 years old. They look normal, but their journey was anything but. What are Moon Trees? Why did NASA send seeds into space? Did space change how they grew? Could plants help humans live on the Moon or Mars someday? Investigate how something as small as a seed took a giant leap for science. Written by YouTube See less
