Hello List, I hope someone can answer these questions for me. Lunar
meteorites come from impacts large enough to throw material out of the moons
gravity.
  In an impact large enough to do that, about how much material would
actually make it into space? After this, would most of that material fall
back to the moon? Will all the material eventually fall to earth or back on
the moon, or could it float around in space forever?
Thanks, Tom
