Scientists broke new ground and grew plants on lunar soil samples recently brought here. For this, special samples were taken from NASA.
Important studies are being carried out to grow plants outside the Earth’s atmosphere. One of them was signed on Earth. University of Florida researchers managed to grow plants on samples of lunar soil obtained from NASA’s Apollo 11, 12, 17 missions. According to sources, NASA has a 382 kg soil sample from the Moon. To the research team, only It is reported that 12 grams of sample has arrived.. Despite this small amount, the scientists, who created a small amount of life on the lunar soil, used sunlight, water and special nutrient fluid in the process. It was explained here that many trials were conducted on different soil types, and the biggest difference between different soils was in size.
The US National Aeronautics and Space Administration is working to send humans back to the Moon. However, this development will not happen immediately. NASA administrator speaking last month Bill Nelson He stated that NASA has postponed its goal of sending humans to the Moon, and that this will not happen before 2025. Nelson, former President of the United States Donald TrumpReferring to the Moon’s plan to send humans to the Moon, “The Trump administration’s goal of sending humans to the Moon in 2024 was not in line with technical feasibility” said.
Nelson also said that the 1st mission of the mission to send humans to the Moon, known as NASA’s Artemis program, was postponed to the spring of 2022, the Artemis II mission to 2024 and the Artemis III mission to 2025. Needing a little more time to bring humans back to the Moon, NASA is working on many different projects, as you can imagine, and gets help from partners such as SpaceX.
