Chemical Reactivity of In-Situ Lunar DustIs in-situ lunar dust less, the same, or more chemically reactivity reactive than the Apollo samples currently stored in curation facilities here on Earth? This question has been debated extensively across the community of scientists that have focused on lunar dust biotoxicity. A definitive answer will further mitigate exploration risks to future human explorers on the Moon and will provide useful information for astrobiologists and space biologists as well.
