    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.
