In February 1971, onboard the Apollo 14 Command and Service Module Kitty Hawk, Command Module Pilot Stuart Roosa was conducting “observations, experiments, and scientific investigations” in lunar orbit, while his fellow crew members, Commander Alan Shepard and Lunar Module Pilot Edgar Mitchell explored the Fra Mauro formation on the Moon’s surface.
A statement by NASA History, on Feb. 4, recounts that 50 years ago onboard Kitty Hawk, in Roosa’s personal travel kit, was “a canister of approximately 400-500 loblolly pine, sweet gum, redwood, Douglas fir, and sycamore tree seeds.” ....

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). ....
