"When looking at the incredible photos taken from the Apollo missions, you might assume all the rocks are basically the same gray, dusty material that the astronauts galloped across. But a look through this collection of 1,200 samples from NASA’s Astromaterials Research and Exploration Science (ARES) Division shows that these geologic samples are incredibly diverse and full of surprising features."

"A Chinese spacecraft is on its way to the Moon after launching off the coast of Hainan Island, in southern China, this morning at 4:30 AM local time.

Chang’e-5’s mission is to retrieve rocks from the Moon and return them to Earth. If successful, the craft will be the first to collect lunar material in 44 years"

They are serious about the "Don't Touch the Pristine Moon Rocks" rule at the pristine sample lab at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston. And 80% is still pristine material.
