        We… You see… Nobody’s returned samples before, so we can’t just google it. Nobody has the answer to that question

        We have to analyze the samples to say.

          Right. So how different are they really? I might not expect much of a different. Maybe gravity has compacted the surface there more? Maybe more crater impacts?

            We’re basing our knowledge of what the moon us made of from, like, 8 spots. Having a new sample from so far away will be interesting. Imagine guessing what’s on earth by taking 5 sample from random spots in Canada and then getting a new one from Australia.

            The far side of the moon is the side that will see the most asteroid hit I am guessing.
