We Almost Forgot About the Moon Trees
The American moon missions, more than 50 years later, are each memorable in their own way. Apollo 11, of course, is known for being the very first time human beings set foot on the moon. Apollo 12, for being a little rowdier. Apollo 13, for nearly ending in disaster. Apollo 14—the third of six moon landings—is known, as I recently discovered, for its “moon trees.”Stuart Roosa, one of the Apollo 14 astronauts, took a small canvas bag of tree seeds with him on the journey.
