It doesn't contain anything organic. Lunar soil is just tiny fragments of ground up rock, And it is Earth's story too. Because when the Moon's surface was being bombarded, so was the Earth's, but that record has been obliterated here at home so I suppose it could be use as a historical record. Also previously undiscovered was a material called Armalcolite. Armalcolite was named after Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Mike Collins, is a high titanium mineral that forms at high temperatures and pressures such as those that exist when a meteorite impacts the surface. I am not sure what one would use moondust for, however people seem to be interested in new and exotic things, perhaps one day in the future it may be available in places of spiritual gatherings.

To do what? I mean, sure they are formed in the absence of water, near absence of gravity and moon rocks show little to no erosion, but other wise the chemical compositions are probably not very different from what is found on earth...I highly doubt the moon holds the secret answers to all of our worldly problems...

It might make a fertiliser for some soils deficient in minerals. But we could get the same effect by crushing some local rocks, perhaps recent volcanic ones.

To do what? Are you thinking it is like Disney fairy dust or something? We have the same "dust" right here on little old planet earth.
