    Am not big into invoking improbable events, even over 4Ga.

    A scientific explanation that’s rational, robust, situationally-consistent, & seemingly universally applicable would be preferable.

    To suggest one possible reason for an observation of “too much Hydrogen” on/in the Moon, perhaps one could invoke the decelerative ‘trapping,’ over 4Ga, of protons (i.e., from the solar wind & cosmic rays).

    (A more familiar & terrestrial/geological analogy would be the decelerative trapping of alpha particles having originated the large deposits of commercially-valuable Helium in rock strata bearing alpha-emitting radioactive nuclei.)
