We got a tree from space! #shorts

We got our NASA moon tree from space! Our gum tree seedling, among several others, was flown around the moon on the Artemis I mission in 2022. We were lucky enough to be selected from among about 1,300 proposals. We will plant this beautiful gum tree in the coming weeks! Please stay tuned for a naming competition and planting ceremony.

This is awesome I’m 14 and I’m loving science mainly Chemistry so far but you guys are really catching my eye with astronomy and Physics

Name it Astro! (Astrology - the topic NASA deals with)

Man never went to moon, please debunk the cold War lie

[cahuni]

please hire a professional gardener, not physicists nor astronomers to plant and take care of it. Too much efforts for it to not grow well now.

Probably should name the tree Luna Orbit. You know, cause the moon & Orbit (sweet)gum?
