Date:  Tue, 04/11/2023    Broadcast: 01

Remark:  More than fifty years apart, two separate moon missions included tree seeds in spacecraft in lunar orbit. While the trees from many seeds within the first mission are thriving, a second set of seed from a more recent event are now undergoing research and will eventually be planted. Rod Bain looks at the history, legacy, and study of tree seeds as part of moon missions in this edition of “Agriculture USA”.

PARTICIPANTS: Rod Bain. Crew of planned Artemis Two manned moon mission. Heidi McAllister of the U.S. Forest Service. Apollo 14 astronauts Stuart Roosa, Alan Shepard, and Edgar Mitchell.
