        it is. Lunar dust might be harmful to life and be a danger for a lunar settlement. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adverse_health_effects_from_lunar_dust_exposure …

        yes. Imagine breathing in really fine mineral dust. Also it is tricky to keep out of your life support systems.

        A lot of people don't realize the Moon dust is so dark also.

        true due to direct sunlight exposure on photos. "Natural" color is more ashen grey or concrete.

        That is such a picture of heroism. Dirty, exhausted, but so proud and happy to be where he was at that moment.

        I wonder how the moon smells. I am imagining something between petrichor and what we think is the smell of metal.

        I would not call him "the last" but rather "the most recent", because I do hope we will return.
