He said that because this channel often gets little facts wrong here and there. But they are said with such confidence that you wouldn’t know it unless you already knew it.
I found one that's an hour away from me. I'll be driving past it next weekend, and will be sure to pay it a visit. I can't believe I hadn't heard about this before!
There's one at the University of Arizona I've seen, it's just off to the side of one of the space science buildings with nothing more than a humble plaque to mark it's significance
@@Make-Asylums-Great-Again I've reserved a special bed in the new Asylum down the street. Your doc's got a strange name though...Kevikin? Kevokrian? Oh, it's Kevorkian! Have fun!
I read about the germination experiments on the International Space Station, and I realized that in the end nature always wins ... even without gravity the roots know what to do ... to live and live. This should suggest to us that the things we can do may go beyond what we can now imagine.
I remember when the seeds went up and came back. After their return I can recall that they were going to be distributed and planted and wondered what they would be like when they were all grown up. It seems that they are perfectly normal. I didn't know that they were called Moon Trees though. Great story. I never knew what happened to them.
Keeping politics out of these ventures is the hardest obstacle......Plants like animals find a way to survive. Great info I had no idea about the program.
I’ve had space salsa! There was a satellite program that sent a bunch of tomato seeds and other veggies into orbit. When the seeds were eventually returned they were given out to much of places. Including the science museum I volunteered at as a kid. They grew the tomatoes and eventually were made into a home made salsa we had at a museum party. I need to look it up sometime. I had forgotten all about that until I saw this video.
Some of the trees were supposed to have been planted at the Space And Rocket Center in Huntsville. Years ago I looked for them but couldn't determine if they still exist. I used to work there so I had spent some time looking but I think the area they were planted was redone by landscaping.
Two trees are in Tennessee. One is at the University of the South. The other is a UTK AG. He wasn't asked. He was a former fire jumper who took them voluntarily.
I never knew that they took seeds from trees to the moon. I wonder what else they have brought in outer space or grown. I wonder if they ever brought plants to grow on the space station. I think that would be a interesting topic to cover. Thank you for making great uploads like this.
We have a moon tree in my town but it was struck by lightning a few years back and has since rotted and is barely alive. Town council is holding a vote soon to have it removed or not.
@Tah BOO God is just a figment of your imagination. While you have the right to it, others also have the right to hate on it and not believe in it. Hopefully you learn that there are better people on earth who don't believe in a god, than church goers who preach gospel and proceed to trample over you because you think slightly differently.
I was at Kings Dominion in Virginia a couple of weeks ago and while walking around the Eiffel Tower I just so happened to see a sign next to a tree that said it had been to the moon and back.
Why ever didn't they collect some MOONDUST/SOIL into which to plant the tree seeds and then return the pots with planted seeds to Earth to see if the plants would germinate and grow on in the substraight from the Moon?
“Old Age” for a redwood??? There are several at Humboldt State University. Behind the Natural Resources Building. And Behind Founders Hall. Go Jacks!!!
@@sirbader1 I actually work in Reforestation of Redwood forests. The moon Redwood are a little small for their age. In good conditions they could be 125 - 150 feet tall and 30-35 inches across (based on my experience). There are around a dozen of them at Humboldt State university, and we have one in front of the tree nursery my company owns (our nursery supplied seed and I think they germinated the moon Redwood)
so what "SIMPLE BUT MEANIGHFULL" way does 'taking some seeds FROM HERE all the way to THE MOON and BACK AGAIN and planting them to grow here WHERE THEY CAME FROM' connect to WHAT????????? it's LOST ON ME sorry 🤷♂️😶... if we FOUND SEEDS ON THE MOON... and grew them HERE... !! WELL then ya have something rite???
I swear I saw a documentary...stating those "moon trees" were FAKE!💯 The King of Denmark had it tested and it was a regular tree!😂😂🎄or maybe moon rock! It had no moon dust on it or anything!!💯
A reporter made up a yarn that Neil Armstrong gave a moon rock that turned out to be a loose bit of petrified wood... but Armstrong never gave out moon rocks. And that country's moon rock was still in the museum, still in its case, and still potted in clear plastic, as the donated rocks all were. A lie can travel around the world before a truth can tie its boots...
5:28 Look at the face masks they’re wearing. Meanwhile some adults can’t be asked to wear a simple cloth face mask while grocery shopping without throwing a damn hissy fit. They really are embarrassing.
