Plants Found On The Moon

In a startling discovery scientists attached to the European Space agency have found what they believe to be Tomato plants growing on the moon quite near to the plains of tranquility. After going through reams of data, Professor Fodder of the European Center for space and strategic exploration agency (ECSTE), will announce to the worlds scientific community that plants the size of trees are growing on the moon.  How does he know this? Through carbon and infrared detection equipment installed on the international space station. 

Although they had problems to identify them when first discovered, they have now confirmed and identified the plants as giant tomato plants. Furthermore they have estimated each tomato fruit, weighs in at the astounding weight of 7 Kilos.  Talking with reporters from the “National Enquirer” Professor Fodder said “how these plants got there we have no idea, but our initial suspicions fall on Neil Armstrong.” Neil Armstrong a keen gardener and was also the first person to set foot on the moon. Furthermore his first foot prints are quite close to where the giant plants are located. When questioned Neil Armstrong did admit to carrying a small packet of mixed seeds with him on his historic journey to the moon, but did not actually admit to planting them there.  Not satisfied by Neil Armstrong’s answers the scientific community headed by Professor Fodder visited Mr Armstrong in the garden of his Texas, house in order to clarify the National Enquirers story. Unfortunately this also turned out to be a dead end as NASA had told Neil Armstrong to be quiet and not divulge what type of tomatoes seeds he took with him to the moon.  In another twist to this story Heinz, has offered the scientists a substantial sum of money for the rights to harvest these giant plants, once they figure out just how these plants are watered, as it is still a mystery to the scientific community. However one idea put forward is that the plants pick up moisture when asteroids start to dissolve or are in a decaying orbit, thus releasing moisture into the solar winds. One thing for sure though, make sure you treat your bottle of Heinz tomato ketchup with reference, the tomatoes inside may have come from the moon.
