Charles Conrad and Richard Gordon, are expected to visit Israel next spring to attend the planting of the first trees in the Astronauts Forest which the Jewish National Fund is planting near Jerusalem.

Last week they were each presented with a certificate attesting to the planting of trees in their names in the Astronaut’s Forest.
