Chang'e 4 moon lander common sense fail

You've never worked with Engineers, have you?
Also very likely the Physicists are elite talent... and the Biologists... apparently not.

There's a decided hierarchy in STEM... and Biology is somewhere in the middle. Most people with the talent and drive necessary to be elite Biologists.... aren't. They chose to be elite Chemists, Physicists, EEs, etc.
Not sure how this matters. I would guess the biologists involved with this weren't some folks down the street from the CNSA who had a flower garden in their back yard. All who were directly involved, whether they were engineers and biologists should've known that seeds have a tendency of dying in extreme sub-zero conditions. That would be akin to NASA engineers forgetting to put heaters or CO2 scrubbers in space capsules and then using the excuse that they weren't medical doctors.

That assumes the guy working on rocket propulsion and trajectories ever looks at - or even has access to - the drawings for scrubbers.

I just see Eng interacting on a daily basis to integrate comm equipment and develop mission packages for other preexisting chassis... the EE and SE dont even have access to the ME's shit... and that's assuming he cares or has the time to even bother looking at it.
