Madison Square Park in midtown Manhattan is now home to a Moon tree – a young American sweet gum sapling that grew from a seed NASA sent around the Moon on the Artemis I mission.

Sister, seems like we were all afraid you wouldn’t survive your first winter inside

But you thrived

And now, I hear maybe you are moving to Central Park - pretty swank

See you soon

👋 ❤️ 🌖 🌳

🌳 The #nasa #giss #nyc #MoonTree arrived today

The first moon trees were from Apollo 14 when Stuart Roosa packed seeds in his bags as part of the US bicentennial:

The idea of a tree grown of a seedling that had made its way around the moon piqued the interest of so many #STEM lovers that the modern #Artemis team decided we needed a new cohort of inspirational, well traveled trees:

Our sapling sweet gum is hanging out w plants on our living wall

@drequivalent there are already a number of projects working on specialized UI for navigating groups and threaded conversations, federated over AP. The Reddit-a-likes like @prismo , #Lemmy ( @LemmyDev ), Littr.me ( @mariusor ), #lobsters, #Guppe ( @datatitian ), #MoonTree , and #Pantheon. Friendica and Hubzilla also have groups that could be federated over AP, although I don't think they are yet.
