</div><div class='leafly-legacy-article'><p>Space: the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdjL8WXjlGI" target="_blank" rel="noopener">final frontier</a>. The massively empty wonder which has tantalized the imagination of mankind since first gazing upwards to witness the brilliance of the celestial. Whether for discovery, in reaction to climate change, or because you&#8217;re an <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xeKMS62GrTI" target="_blank" rel="noopener">overly excited core that wants to go to space</a>, exploration is more relevant and possible than ever. With private space companies reigniting the torch of space travel and helmed by incredibly smart and innovative individuals (like Elon Musk, founder of <a href="http://arstechnica.com/science/2016/07/spacex-sends-cargo-to-the-international-space-station-nails-the-landing/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">SpaceX</a>, or Sir Richard Branson of Virgin Galactic), it&#8217;s not hard to believe we are entering a golden age of cosmological discovery.</p>
<p>On the shoulders of giants we stride forward into a future not grounded on Earth. Here at Leafly, we’d like to reengage the booster switch and combust a little propellant in honor of the men and women around the world making the dream of space exploration a reality. We&#8217;ve compiled a list of outer space-themed cannabis strains to help you celebrate the scientists, star formations, conspiratorial UFO hunters, Apollo missions, and others on this Space Exploration Day.</p>

<p>Originating in 1952, <a href="https://www.leafly.com/hybrid/project-blue-book">Project Blue Book</a> kicked off a series of studies conducted by the U.S. Air Force to determine if UFOs were a threat to national security. Its strain counterpart is a sativa-leaning hybrid offering a serene body high and calm, focused effects that are perfect for star-gazing.</p>

<p>This rocket was used by the Soviet Union to perform the world&#8217;s first satellite launch in 1957. Strain-wise, the spunky <a href="https://www.leafly.com/sativa/sputnik">Sputnik</a> sativa (say that three times fast!) has hints of sour and diesel, perhaps from that rocket boost of uplifting effects you may experience.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>“2 hits to liftoff. Decent buzz out of the launchpad. mid buzz nice and headize, no burn out at the end. good strain to kick back, and rate strains.” &#8211; <a href="https://www.leafly.com/sativa/sputnik/reviews/1255543">sonofabrokenman</a></p>

<p>The first space flight that brought humans on the Moon, <a href="https://www.leafly.com/hybrid/apollo-11">Apollo 11</a> is the reason we&#8217;re celebrating this date today since it occurred on July 20th, 1969. Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin took one small step for man and one giant leap for mankind. The strain, meanwhile, offers strong cerebral effects that are good for treating stress and moderate pain.</p>
<blockquote>

<p>The iconic theoretical physicist brought us predictions on black holes, gravitational singularity theorems, and cosmology.

<blockquote>
<p>“Healing codes from the universe immediately came to me when I smoked a hit of this high 11.4 CBD strain. Absolutely Smiles and TOTAL RELEIF are endrenching me in this dream.

<p>The seventh manned mission in the Apollo space program, Apollo 13 was the United States&#8217; third intended Moon landing. Unfortunately, an oxygen tank exploded and crippled the Service Module. The crew managed to cobble together some makeshift repairs and return safely to Earth on April 17th. Not only did this historical event result in a blockbuster film of the same name, it also inspired the popular <a href="https://www.leafly.com/hybrid/apollo-13">Apollo 13</a> hybrid strain featuring cerebral, energizing effects and an appropriately earthy scent.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>“WOW! Such an appropriate name, because I&#8217;m blasted light years past the moon. Light speed ahead, on a rocket ship I said, catch me if you can, I&#8217;m your spaceman&#8230;” &#8211;<a href="https://www.leafly.com/hybrid/apollo-13/reviews/1309297">NunoFreak</a></p>

Celebrate Space Exploration Day With These Cannabis Strains

One of my all time favorite strains- smells heavenly with a focused, creative, uplifting cerebral effect while providing pain relief, and muscle relaxation. As far as sativa /sativa dominant strains go, PBB actually calms my anxiety and helps with ADHD as well. Good for the body, mind, mood and attitude! 

Got a gram of flower free. Good signature sativa head rush, uplifting, silly, etc. A bit too harsh for me to keep as a strain in my rotation, but pleasantly surprised for a freebie.

The Project Blue Book is a great strain for all those Blue Dream lovers.. only its better! Very nice head high with super chill undertones of body high.

Very clear and tasty. Great first smoke of the day strain.
My GF loved it and said it helped her keep focus while she was studying for her finals.

Project Blue Book is a very lovely, mellow relaxing strain. It has both a calming cerebral effect as well as a tingly body buzz. I found the pain relief for this strain to be fairly good too. It's effects are quite similar to Blue Dream but I find Project Blue Book to provide a deeper relaxed feeling. Great for any time of day. Overall a very pleasant strain and one I am glad I had an opportunity to try. I deducted one star because it did give me a bit of an anxious feeling for a few moments when the effects peaked, but that didn't last long.

Got this strain from Pot Cargo. Had a great smell to it, smelled like fresh berries in a way. An also amazing taste to it, almost tasted like a kush after taste. The effects were quick and made me feel very uplifted and energetic. Would def recommend to others to try this strain.

My go to strain! It's pretty much Blue Dream on steroids. Great for pain relief after work and a good video game session!
