The samples brought back from the Moon were stored in vessels that had rubber o-rings. The sharp lunar dust compromised the o-rings and the samples were contaminated by Earth's atmosphere so scientists were never sure if the water they were seeing in Apollo samples was due to contamination or water that was originally from the Moon.

Lunar dust is sharp enough to damage rubber in a relatively short period of time? Weaponize that shit, maybe it will kill bedbugs
