Oops, moon.

Still, sealed, for how long ?
If released will it grow into a monster......fear the Moon !

Read up on what happened with the bits of the Surveyor 3 probe returned by Apollo 12. The moon is already contaminated.

Given the Apollo astronauts left all their rectal deposits in bags on the Moon, that ship sailed a long time ago.

Not to mention their backpacks and urine bags - which contained organic matter.

You have just written it annodomini2, but what person normally ever says that?

[Eric Mc]

NASA uses terms like this all the time.

RIP to the cool moon plant

[Eric Mc]

The moon got its own back

I guess the lander doesn't have the battery capacity to keep a heater going during the lunar night

Just imagine attempting to grow plants on Mars even less sunlight......

Warmer though and more atmosphere

[Eric Mc]

And a nice 24 hour (ish) day night cycle - so would suit earth plants from that point of view (and an axial tilt that gives seasons as well).
