"NASA's Artemis Mission: Astronauts to Deploy Plants and Instruments on the Moon in 2026"
TL;DR Summary
NASA is planning to send a team to the moon in 2026 to plant moon plants as part of the LEAF (Lunar Effects on Agricultural Flora) project, marking the first time astronauts will land on the moon in over 50 years. The experiment aims to study plant growth and development in space-radiation and partial gravity, with the potential to develop vegetation for human nutrition and life support on the moon. This historic expedition will also be the first time a woman and a person of color have been to the moon, and it follows the successful completion of the Artemis 1 mission in 2022.
