The lunar rocks collected by the astronauts from the surface during the historic Apollo moon landings still contain secrets waiting to be discovered by scientists some 40 years after they were first returned to the Earth.
There are still many secrets waiting to be gleaned from moon rocks collected by Apollo 11 astronauts on their historic moonwalk 40 years ago. "

As long as they dont contain black oil were ok. I wonder what secrets they may be talking about. The age of the rocks? if the rocks are native to the moon? or questions about the moons origins?

One of the secrets that the moon rocks MIGHT contain could be diamonds Seriously unlikely. Diamond is a form of carbon which only really exsists in living organisms. Oil is a breakdown of biological components too. I would find it hard to belive that the moon was once teeming with life!

I'm surprised nobody made the joke about the moon being a giant cookie yet, lol By the way, doesn't the moon rock have Helium-3 which can be used for Nuclear/Fusion fuel? I know an average sized asteroid will yield an estimate of 10 years of steel production, along with gold, copper, etc, so space mining would be very good for us to get into once we get the technology.

Thanks for sharing the article but I was a little disappointed that they do not go into details about the properties of lunar rocks and what has been discovered about them so far. Does anyone know of a good source that goes into details about the properties of lunar rocks?
