Nasa scientists grew corn seeds in space and found that microgravity changed how the seedlings' roots and shoots grew

In a 1992 shuttle experiment, researchers saw that without gravity, plants lost their sense of direction. The seedlings grew healthy tissue, but their roots and shoots moved in tangled, unpredictable patterns.
