How the new Moon race depends on fake Moon dirt ?

With the launch of Artemis 1, the new Moon race has kicked into a higher gear. Government agencies like NASA are joining private companies to return to our trusty satellite and potentially usher in a new lunar economy.

And to prep for all these missions, they’re relying on an unsung hero of the Moon biz: lunar regolith simulant, or fake Moon dirt.

We acquired some real samples of fake lunar regolith from the Exolith lab at the University of Central Florida, and put it to the test to demonstrate a phenomenon that could jeopardize our grandest ambitions for the Moon.
