FFS… you aren’t sending seeds up and sticking them in a vacuum in the powdered asphalt that is the moon’s surface, you are planting them in habitats for food and oxygen. Except that you can’t haul soil up with you. I mean, you could but it’s vastly expensive. If we have a way to use the “ground” that’s already up there, that’s a pretty big deal, because that shit is basically ground up glass.
FFS… You can’t grow anything without an atmosphere.

No but it does mean we don’t need to ship up potting soil if a base were to be established.
