 | | Stuart A. Roosa, the astronaut and smokejumper who carried tree seeds to the moon and back aboard Apollo 14, will be remembered along with other astronauts with the planting of a 6-foot descendant of his Moon Trees at Arlington National Cemetery Wednesday, February 9 at 11 a.m. |
 | | Hundreds of so-called Moon Trees were planted around the country—many as part of the nation’s Bicentennial in 1976--including at the White House, NASA facilities, state capitols and at Valley Forge. |
 | | In attendance February 9 will be representatives from NASA, the U.S. Forest Service, the military, and students from Cannelton Elementary School in Cannelton, Indiana, where one of the original Moon Trees, a sycamore, is planted at Camp Koch Girl Scout Camp. |
