Dr. John V. Evans, a radar expert, reported at a Lunar Exploration Conference that measurements indicate the moon's surface is a hard, grainy porous material. He said it may be silicate debris created by micro meteorite impacts, not bare rock, with radar strength similar to earth sand.

Moon Bulge Debate Sparks Second Battle at Conference
Astronomers Baldwin Kopal Gold and Urey clashed over the moon's surface and possible bulge. Baldwin argues a primordial bulge from a closer Earth, supported by a new contour map and 696 height measurements. Kopal doubts tidal origin while noting maps show irregularities. Urey calls for more data and plans for lunar samples to settle the dispute.
