One giant leaf for mankind! China has started growing COTTON on the far side of the moon (and potatoes are next!): Pioneering mission to the lunar surface successfully germinates seeds for the FIRST TIME

月面第一片绿叶！已经开始在月球背面种出棉花了(下一个是土豆!)：开拓性任务，种子首次在月球表面成功发芽

China's Chang'e-4 mission has successfully started growing plants on the moon.

的“嫦娥四号”，已经开始在月球上种出植物。

Cotton seeds can be seen sprouting in a photo released by the China National Space Administration (CNSA).

国家航天局(CNSA)发布的一张照片显示，棉花种子正在发芽。

The mission took a variety of seeds to the moon as part of its biosphere experiment and this marks the first time ever that biological material has been cultivated on the lunar surface.

作为生物圈实验的一部分，该任务将多种种子带到月球，这标志着首次在月球表面种成生物。

Other biological matter on the Chang'e-4 mission includes cotton, oilseed rape, potato, Arabidopsis, yeast and fruit flies.

“嫦娥四号”携带的物种包括棉花、油菜、土豆、拟南芥、酵母和果蝇。

More plants are expected to sprout in the next 100 days, the Chinese space agency claims.

航天局称，未来100天将有更多植物发芽。

Develo the ability to grow plants in space is an important step towards successful long duration space flight to Mars and beyond.

发展在太空种植植物的能力为成功前往火星这类长期太空飞行迈出了重要的一步。

The picture emerged after being released has come from Chongqing University and was published on the university's Weibo account.

这张照片是重庆大学公布的，并在该校的微博上发表。

It read: 'After experimenting under the moon's high vacuum, large temperature difference, strong radiation and harsh conditions, mankind has grown the first plant sprout, realising man's first moon-based biological growth experiment'.

微博上面写道:“在经历月球高真空、宽温差、强辐射等严峻环境考验后，人类在月球上种植出第一株植物嫩芽，实现人类首次月面的生物生长培育实验。”

Images sent back by the probe show the cotton sprout has grown well, but so far none of the other plants on-board have taken, the university said.

该大学表示，探测器传回的图像显示，棉花嫩芽长得很好，但到目前为止，没有拍到其他植物。

Fruit flies - also known as Drosophila - are a model organism widely used throughout science to understand how animals react in different environments.

Their short reproduction time is useful in allowing scientists to understand its genetic impact after several generations of reproduction.

果蝇是一种模型生物，在整个科学领域被广泛用于了解动物在不同环境下的反应。它们较短的繁殖时间有助于科学家了解繁殖几代后的遗传影响。

Arabidopsis, a simple plant related to the mustard family, is the plant equivalent of Drosophila and also widely used by scientists.

拟南芥是芥菜科的一种简单植物，也被科学家广泛使用。

100% fake. hard to find serious space exploration these days. Marvel does better jobs.

What good is it doing growing plants in a controlled environment ? Doesn't prove anything.

在受控的环境中种出植物有什么意义?并不能证明什么。

Don't plants need carbon dioxde and sunlight to grow? Not much of those on the dark side of the moon.

植物难道不是需要二氧化碳和阳光才能生长吗?月球背面应该没这些东西啊。

Good for China. We should all pool our resources and work together on space exploration.

对来说是好事。我们应该集中资源，一起进行太空探索。

This is not an achievement. USA already did this in space. Those canister contained plants could care less where you stick them. There going to grow no matter what!

这不算成就。美国已经在太空做到了。那些装有植物的罐子不管放在哪里，里面的种子都能生长!

Well as Matt says in the Martian once you grow food you officially colonize. So I guess China can claim the moon now?

就像马特在《火星救援》中说的那样，一旦你种植了粮食，你就正式开拓殖民地了。所以我猜现在可以宣称拥有月球了?

They'll probably leave three tons of plastic waste on the moon when they are done, if their actions on Earth are any indication.
