Cotton seeds on the Moon. Image: Chongqing University Plants are growing on the Moon for the first time in human history. Cotton seeds germinated in a small biosphere carried to the far side of the Moon by China’s lunar lander Chang’e-4, announced mission leads on Tuesday. The Chang’e-4 team released images of the sprouts, which began growing soon after the probe’s landing on January 3. This Moon cotton is growing in soil that contains oilseed rape, potato, and arabidopsis seeds, but those have not visibly germinated yet. Fruit fly eggs were also put in the biosphere, which is protected by a sealed seven-pound canister, but they haven’t hatched (so far as we know as of Tuesday). The achievement marks the first time that any biological matter has been grown on the Moon, though many plants, animals, and cultures have been studied on the International Space Station and previous orbital missions. The mission already made history this month when it became the first lander ever to touch down on the far side of the Moon.
Poster Comment: The Chinese have found a way to beat the Trump tariff taxes. While Donnell was distracted by Kim Jong Un's hairdoo, they were busy building their cotton plantation on the far side of the moon. Space Commander Pence, the loser who let China take the Moon. Impeach the chicom traitor!
Cotton seeds brought to the far side of the Moon by China's Chang'e-4 lander have sprouted.

Now we know why they went to the far side, to start their cotton plantation and the Terraforming of Luna. This proves many things, there is water on Luna, there is air on Luna, and Lunaites are given over to lunacy
Predicted in this song - 1969: But in the gardens of the moon, Time is held within the silver spoon.
Government is in the last resort the employment of armed men, of policemen, gendarmes, soldiers, prison guards, and hangmen.

Plants are growing on the Moon for the first time in human history.
The essential feature of government is the enforcement of its decrees by beating, killing, and imprisoning.
Those who are asking for more government interference are asking ultimately for more compulsion and less freedom.
