Actually this is kind of two space stories for the price of one. The first is that experiments have found that bacteria can grow in Lunar soil. This is one of those first step things - the bacteria's presence in the Lunar soil will then in theory make it possible for other basic plant forms to be cultivated, and that's a pretty big step toward terraforming.
The other news (which I'm a bit surprised I haven't seen anywhere else) is that NASA are now confirming that they'll be back on the moon by 2020, and they're aiming to build MoonBaseOne. Google no doubt won't be far behind.
