What is cosmochemistry?

Question

If you signed up to take a college course in Cosmochemistry - what would you expect to learn about?

Would it be different if it was called "astrochemistry"? How?

Please do not copy and paste the entry from Wikipedia - I know what it thinks cosmochemistry is....

Answer 1

About 125 scientists, engineers, business men and women, and other specialists attended the sixth meeting of the Space Resources Roundtable, held at the Colorado School of Mines in Golden, Colorado. The meeting was co-sponsored by the Space Resources Roundtable, Inc. (a nonprofit organization dedicated to the use of space resources for the benefit of humankind), the Lunar and Planetary Institute, and the Colorado School of Mines. Presentations and discussions during the meeting made it clear that the knowledge gained from cosmochemical studies of the Moon and Mars is central to devising ways to use in situ resources. This makes cosmochemistry central to the human exploration and development of space, which cannot happen without extensive in situ resource utilization (ISRU). Cosmochemists at the meeting reported on an array of topics: the nature of lunar surface materials and our lack of knowledge about surface materials in permanently shadowed regions at the lunar poles; how to make reasonable simulated lunar materials for resource extraction testbeds, vehicle design tests, and construction experiments on Earth; and how to explore for resources on the Moon and Mars.  

Answer 2

Cosmochemistry is the area of expertise of the bartender in s*x and the City.

Or,

Cosmochemistry is the branch of chemistry devoted to finding new ways to 1) apply eyeshade, 2) look good in a bikini and 3) thrill your man is bed. Their professional journal is a thick glossy magazine available at the supermarket checkout.

I don't know, what is cosmochemistry? From your question I'll assume that the Wikipedia entry is not accurate.
