【题目】 Will you remember to water the plants? If the plants are in space, will watering be difficult?NASA(美国宇航局)has plans to plant the first garden on the moon in 2051——and it might mean that we are closer to live in space.
The garden will have many vegetables such as carrots. People will keep the seeds in a special box, with a supply(供给装置)of air and water to get them started. Robert Bowman, a scientist working on the project, talked to a news reporter about the meaning of the garden.
