About this document

Lunar Soil Plant Growth Breakthrough by Moranto Siregar is a document available to read on EtoBox.

Scientists were able to grow plants in lunar soil samples brought back from the Moon by Apollo astronauts, representing the first plants grown in real Moon soil. While the plants sprouted similarly to control groups at first, those in lunar soil showed stunted growth and development after a few days. The experiment provides hope that one day plants could be grown directly on the Moon or Mars to supply food to astronauts, but more research is still needed to understand how to make extraterrestrial soils more
