    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.
