For the finish, try something like this:
finish{ambient 0 diffuse .6 brilliance .3}

The low brilliance value makes the light/shadow boundary tighter, which IMO
looks better.
For the texture you can map on an actual image of the Moon's surface. I also
made a moon texture which I'm quite content with. It's rather complex and
not exactly perfect. Anyway, I'll post it in p.t.s-f (to make Ken happy :)

For the rock, I suggest a simple gradient y pattern, since the rock strata
are quite similar in colour. I have seen such textures in many places,
certainly in several IRTC entries, so check 'em out.
