Fake moon dirt a hit

Dr. Carter operates his counterfeit moon dirt concern from "a secret location" in North Texas, and of course his formulation for putting together the regolith stuff is more closely-guarded than the recipe for Bush's baked beans. Apparently the finished product looks a lot like charcoal ash, and the source rocks (volcanic in nature) come from Arizona.

Interesting. I'm not surprised at the AZ connection.
