How about moon dust that eats away at your equipment, sticks to everything, and can cause iron poisoning (and possibly a lung disease similar to silicosis)? “The dust was so abrasive that it actually wore through three layers of Kevlar-like material on [Apollo 17 astronaut] Jack [Schmitt]’s boot,” Taylor says. That abrasion happened over 3 moonwalks (each lasting a bit over 7 hours). http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/09/080924191552.ht... |
