        There's nothing different if the space vehicle carrying the seeds was here on earth.

        Not actually growing on the moon. To claim that they would have had to planted them on the moons surface and then have them grow. Grown in an artificial environment inside a space craft is good but it isn't the moon. Maybe it’s good to check the sunlight for plants growth

        Basically plant did not sowed into moon's soil & if I m not wrong, there is supply of water & oxygen to these plant from spacecraft itself. So these plants r growing in spacecraft which is landed on moon & not moon itself. Its big difference, but anyway kudos to Chinese efforts.
