Omygoodness. I'm impressed. I didn't even know about the lunar lander project;
I thought you were talking about something they'd already done.
But only 5-10 days' worth of air? They'll barely get germination in that
amount of time, let alone actual plants. And what are they going to do about
, but they wouldn't make a slow film
like that now. Or one without any women I bet.

The mysteries of nature. Could this be evolution caught in action? People have
often speculated cosmic rays could have forced some of the huge leaps in life
on Earth but I don't think anyone has ever documented it.
Thing is, you wouldn't expect radiation to produce this much change in one
What puzzles me a bit is that they've been taking seeds into space for a long
time to see what happens to them. On the ISS, I think they even grow stuff.
Have there been no other signs of accelerated maturation or other genetic
mutation besides with the cherry trees? I haven't heard of any.
They've grown a lot on the ISS, one of the original objectives was to see if
things are better nutritionally or grow faster in space. After a quick google:
Research Overview
The Advanced Plant Experiment - Canadian Space Agency 2 (APEX-CSA2) provides
insight into the fundamental processes
And what about the effect of Fukushima radiation? They don't like to
talk about that.

Thanks, Salyavin. But what were the results? It sounds as though they'd have
been looking for the same kinds of changes as with the cherry tree. In any
case, according to that story, more than just that one monastery cherry tree
whose stones were on the ISS has bloomed earlier than it was

Tokyo (AFP) - A cosmic mystery is uniting monks and scientists in Japan after
a cherry tree grown from a seed that orbited the Earth for eight months bloomed
years earlier than expected -- and with very surprising flowers.
