Mickes Space roses.

On Jan. 28th, the students of Earth to Sky Calculus flew a batch of rose seeds to the stratosphere. The seeds went aloft inside a standard Space Weather Buoy, nestled alongside our radiation sensors, GPS trackers, and cryogenic thermometer. En route to the edge of space, the seeds experienced cosmic radiation levels, temperatures and pressures akin to those on the planet Mars. What kind of roses will these "space seeds" produce? The payload landed on the east side of the White Mountains, on a ridge overlooking McAfee Canyon. 

Guess who bought these seeds. Yeah...Me.

Planning Process:

 

Got my seeds

This evening I put the seeds in my small greenhouse.
