important information for sci fi writers: i have received a vial of simulated lunar highlands dust that is supposedly chemically identical to the real thing. i immediately tasted it because i've always wanted to know what the moon actually tastes like. i blame wallace and gromit.
pictured above: the founding members of the Tasted The Moon Club.
anyway the simulated regolith tastes like clean concrete. slightly different from river stone or granite in a way i can't explain. less stony, more dusty, definitely not sandy, and absolutely no taste of salt, iron, or dirt.
if you have ever wanted to write someone on the moon, now you have at least one dude's word on what the lunar highlands taste like.
