Feel it--it's soft like snow, yet strangely abrasive.

Taste it--"not half bad," according to Apollo 16 astronaut John Young.

Sniff it--"it smells like spent gunpowder," says Cernan.

heh cool. So If I droped a load on the moon and some poor bastard comes back 50 years later, HAPPENS to step in the general vacinity, the moon dust will smell like a big heap of crap. Awsome. Absolutly awsome.
