Question

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 2015—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(种子)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.

The plants will feed astronauts(宇航员) and moon colonists(移民). We’re chosen many important plants because people are going to live there. As we all know, many years ago, the astronauts only walked on the moon, they stopped for a while and then came home. In the future, people will go to the moon, go to mars, go to other places in outer-space and live there.

But , will the carrots still be delicious?
