    “I hate moon dust. It’s coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere.”

    “I hate Mars dust too.”

    It’s actually a huge problem to solve before any rational long term settlement occurs in these places. The stuff is pretty bad.

      I thought mars wasn’t quite the same issue, since it has ‘weather,’ while the moon doesn’t. Its soil should have some measure of erosion, making the dust not quite as large and jagged.

        You’re correct in that it’s not as sharp, but it still poses problems with getting into seals and lungs and sticking to everything. Plus it’s very toxic, probably the bigger concern for living there.
