Researchers used small samples of dust collected during the 1969-1972 Apollo missions to grow a type of cress.

Much to their surprise, the seeds sprouted after two days.

"I can't tell you how astonished we were," said Anna-Lisa Paul, a University of Florida professor who co-authored a paper on the findings.

"Every plant - whether in a lunar sample or in a control - looked the same up until about day six."

After that, differences emerged. The plants grown in moon soil started to show stress, developed more slowly and ended up stunted.

But those involved say it is a breakthrough - and one that has earthly implications.

Im pretty stoned but this will still be fascinating in the morning

May make great terpenes but it would cost a bomb for a bag at the local Hydro shop, and the carbon footprint would be out of this world…

The only reason they can grow ok'ish plants in moon soil is because there are no worms in moon soil. Its basically coco
