The fact they germinated on the moon under controlled conditions is a big deal. They did this on the ISS but never on a foreign body. We're not going to be ploughing fields in lunar soil anytime soon but if they can grow food to sustain the first colony it's a big step towards self sustainability up there for future operations and why not possibly pave the way for Mars? I reckon it's very exciting and good to see a chinese agency being pro active for a change.
