The Moon's atmosphere is negligible.

Is "none" negligible?

What's the minimum amount of "gas" that has to be present to be considered "atmosphere"?

There's evidence of earlier outgassing on the lunar surface.

Did any of the Apollo missions think to bring back samples of the atmosphere?

The moon actually does have an extremely thin atmosphere, so the term "negligible" is appropriate here.

That depends Mr. Gore, was there any controlling legal authority?
