Talk:Lunar soil

message: This is a very simple starting point for an article on Lunar Soil. Hopefully, over time, enough information will be accumulated here, and make this article useful as a resource regarding lunar soil and its properties. This stub was created in 5 minutes, but a good accumulation of facts and knowledge will only result from editing over an extended period of time.
Feel free to make any and all corrections - including complete revision of anything written - if it will result in a higher level of accuracy and usefulness.
Despite the simple title, Lunar Soil is a topic which covers fairly wide range of information. Future subsections should include:
   1. Origin of Lunar Soil
   2. Composition of Lunar Soil
   3. Mining and Processing of Lunar Soil
   4. Engineering Challenge Posed By Lunar Soil - a place for the current knowledge of Engr 
      challenges of lunar soil (this will not be a speculative section; instead it will focus 
      on existing knowledge from legitimate sources)
      4.1. Civil Engineering: lunar soil properties differ from those of Earth soil, 
           and all future structures built on the Moon depend on concrete knowledge 
           of its soil
      4.2. Mechanical Engineering: Moon's surface is covered by a layer of extremely fine, 
           electrically charged dust - the lunar regolith; Any mechanisms operating on the 
           Moon will have to be safe from the effects of that dust settling on moving parts
This is just a tentative index of topics which should be covered by the fully developed article.
What I started as a very bad draft in 2006 has been edited so nicely, it is actually pleasant to read. It still misses important information, but what a change. I'm humbled by al the editing that everybody contributed to my very bad draft. It's so cool to see :)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.6.175.42 (talk) 03:41, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

message: The article needs a table of the chemical constituents of the soil. Is there phosphorus in the soil? --193.166.104.100 (talk) 14:31, 7 February 2013 (UTC)

message: It appears that this article is written in US English, based on the use of the term "oxidize" instead of "oxidise". I based this on looking at the latest version, not by looking back to find the first non-stub version that established a national variety, which is what WP:ENGVAR and WP:RETAIN actually specify. Consequently, I changed "centimetre" to "centimeter" and will shortly add  to the talk page. YBG (talk) 17:50, 22 February 2017 (UTC)

message: The change away from the term 'soil' seems a good one, and obvious once someone has pointed it out. But Dirt doesn't fit either. What is a good alternative? Randy Kryn (talk) 19:29, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
