NASA's 1984 SEEDS Project Sent Millions of Tomato Seeds to Space for Student Science

In 1984, NASA launched the SEEDS project to study how the space environment influences plant growth. The initiative distributed kits containing space-flown tomato seeds and Earth-grown control seeds to roughly 3.3 million students across approximately 40,000 schools worldwide. Students compared the germination and growth of both seed types as part of a hands-on science experiment. Early results showed a slightly higher germination rate in the space-exposed seeds, though meaningful growth differences between the two groups faded over the plants' full life cycles.
