I need water to keep the tree alive too right?
Without anything else, just a singular tree....and a box
Edit - where I will get food you say? There's plenty of cheese on the moon

Edited by Starfall Shadow: 8/4/2015 8:46:03 AMCould happen sooner than you think. "Plants don't grow [well] in zero gravity," explained Melchiorri. "NASA is researching different ways to produce oxygen for long-distance space journeys to let us live in space. This material could allow us to explore space much further than we can now." NASA is currently working on developing ways to grow agriculture on the International Space Station, but the agency's current VEGGIE project limits plant growth to tiny individualized root packets designed to hold water and nutrients. Some very large packets would need to be developed for trees. Mechiorri's invention offers a new and attractive alternative."

There's not really enough gravity on the moon to sustain an atmosphere even though this would be awesome to have a green moon. Although I guess you could live in a box with a tree you'd probably be fine
-
Depends on how big the tree is and how much oxygen you can capture.
-
Not sure it can be grown in an exosphere
-
Supposing you could get the tree to [b][u][i]grow[/i][/u][/b], you might be able to breathe there.... lol
-
Does the moon have water and carbon dioxide and soil nutrients? If so, yes
-
Since oxygen is a gas, it encompasses the container it is in, if you could get an ample supply of carbon dioxide to feed the plant the atmosphere would still be to thin to survive, while that area near the tree would be more oxygen rich, not thick enough. Plus you would use the oxygen faster than the tree could produce. A better scenario would be Lichen, getting pools of water in craters to grow them, and tending it till it created it's own ecosystem, but the would involve creating a sustainable food chain to support this growth, in the long run you could terraform the moon.
-
No. You'd still be missing Nitrogen [and Carbon if my brain isn't completely dead right now] and the tree wouldn't be in the right natural environment to sustain its own life.
-
Watch, I swear this actually has bearing to to ops question.
-
Good luck on the "growing" part.
-
No, you moron. You have to eat the leaves to absorb the trees oxygen
-
No cuz aliens duh
-
The chance of survival is 132%, make offtopic proud OP and bring back your research.
-
No, because I will rip out your jugular for not having a Damned passport.
-
Yes! That's a great idea! You should try it!
-
Depends on the tree... a good solid oak would work, not like that dirty pine...
-
You would need a lot of trees.
-
You can't grow a tree. Everyone knows the moon is made out of cheese.
-
Indubitably.
-
If the box was air proof, you had a lifetimes worth of nutrient rich soil in the box, and the box filtered out uv radiation that would kill the plant, and the tree and you had were perfectly compatible in terms of your oxygen carbon dioxide equilibrium than maybe. Water would also have to be cycled.

No because illuminati
-
Might need some Co2 and maybe a slightly warmer climate.
-
-
Last I checked trees need dirt to grow. Not cheese.
-
If I grow weed on the moon, will that make me higher?
