A new graft cactus (Copiapoa scopa) cultivar 'Redstone' was developed at Cactus Research Institute, Gyeonggi-do A.R.E.S, in 2007. GCP563 and GCP618 were crossed in 2004 and we got 9 seedlings from this combination. After pedigree selection in 2005, one cultivar was finally selected through the test of specific character in 2007 and named as "Redstone". "Redstone" cultivar has red brown color and round globose shape with 15 ribs and its spines are black. This cultivar is able to produce 26.8 offshoots per plant. 'Redstone' cultivar has higher productivity and more slow growth than Copiapoa scopa cultivar.

2차 세계 대전 이후 대형 로켓의 개발에 소극적이었던 미 정부는 미.소간의 냉전이 격화되던 1950년에 한국전쟁이 발발하게 되자 당시 미국의 트루먼 대통령은 안보강화를 위해, 폰 브라운에게 사정거리 300km이 레드스톤 지대지 유도탄개발을 지시하였고, 1953년 8월 플로리다의 케이프커내버럴 공군기지에서 유도탄 발사에 성공하였다. 이어서 대륙간 탄도탄개발이 본격적으로 추진되었다. 이와 더불어 미국 정부는 미국의 국가위상을 고양하고 기술적 우위를 세계에 과시하기 위해 인공위성의 발사가 절대적으로 필요하다는 결론을 내리고 인공위성사업을 추진키로 하였다.

A new poinsettia(Euphorbia pulcherrima. Willd. ex Klotzch) cultivar 'Red Stone' was bred by the National Institute of Horticultural and Herbal Science (NIHHS) in 2009. In 2006, a cross was made between 'Freedom Rose', a cultivar with vigorous growth and deep pink bracts, and 'Enduring Pink', a cultivar with pink bracts early colored. 'Red Stone' was finally selected in 2009 after the investigation of the growth and flowering characteristics from 2007 to 2009. 'Red Stone' has red elliptic bracts and strong rugosities between bract veins. Leaf blade is ovate and very dark green. Stem color is reddish and petiole length is medium but relatively longer than that of 'Pepride Red', control cultivar. 'Red Stone' develops as many as 3.8 branches and which is more than double of 'Pepride Red'. Its bracts and transitional leaves are fully colored at 7.5 weeks after short-day commencement. Plant variety protection right of 'Red Stone' was registered in April 2011, and its grant number is 3487.
