    Moon dust is functionally a lot like asbestos. It is composed of a sizeable amount of tiny shards of rock that aren’t great for your lungs.

      Yea, you should really consider that before breathing on the moon

        Any lunar dust that they made contact with would have found its way into the lunar module for them to breathe in and be exposed to.

    So, if someone were to crash the moon into the earth to stop it escaping, as many as 1/12 of the population could experience a reduced quality of life?

    Might need to consider not doing that I suppose.

    Not being allergic to finely graded rocks that have been bathing in radiation for billions of years seems more unlikely.

    The sample size is at least a little bit bigger…

    Some guy stole moon rocks (presumably still had moon dust on them) to bang his gf on them.

        Roberts was sentenced to more than eight years in prison for his role in the Moonrock caper, as well as a separate offence of stealing dinosaur bones from a museum in Utah.

        I’m afraid to ask what he did with the dinosaur bones!

    Here’s a source for this: https://www.esa.int/Science_Exploration/Human_and_Robotic_Exploration/The_toxic_side_of_the_Moon

    He’s a climate change denier though.

    what’d be the smallest sample size that would yield a relevant result?

    30? 1000?

          There’s the possibility of contamination if we do that.

    But. Moon dust is poisonous and gets everywhere.
