	News: Plants In Space! (March 13, 2003)
		The seeds were distributed to school children all over the United States and in dozens of foreign countries, so that the students could help NASA research the effects of spaceflight on the plants.
		The students found that the space tomatoes were just as healthy as the Earth tomatoes, and in some cases were even "tastier, juicier, and sweeter!" As a result of the students' research, NASA now knows that seeds can survive in space for long periods of time with little or no change in the resulting plant.
		Seeds have a seed coat that protects the plant ready to grow inside--the same way we wear coats in the wintertime for protection.

	China To Launch 1st "Seed Satellite"
		In space seed-breeding, seeds and animalcula are sent into space about 200 to 400 km away from the earth in recoverable satellite or recoverable space vehicles and exposed to cosmic radiation, micro-gravity, high vacuum, alternating magnetic field and other special factors to cause useful mutation that is hard to obtain on the earth.
		Chinese scientists hope to send seeds to the space with the "seed satellite" and carry out space seed-breeding to cultivate new plant variants with outstanding mutation properties with mature induced mutation breeding technologies of the country.
		The recoverable "seed satellite" is designed to return to the earth after the launch and leave the "micro-gravity experiment system" in the orbit as an "unmanned space lab" to serve in the space.

		Now China is adding another moniker to the mix - a "seed satellite." In an effort to feed its ever-growing population, Chinese officials are launching over 2,000 seeds into orbit for a two-week trip designed to force the seeds to mutate.
		Exposed to special environment such as cosmic radiation and micro-gravity, it is hoped that some seeds will mutate to such an extent that they may produce much higher yields and improved quality.
		Apparently, China has been experimenting with space seeds for years with much success, but this will be the first satelite solely dedicated to producing the mutations necessary for an improved crop yield.
