#Apollo17 astronaut Harisson Schmitt suffered from “lunar hay fever” in reaction to the lunar dust. Unlike Earth’s dust particles which are rounded, Moon dust is sharp and abrasive, irritating astronaut eyes, nasal passages, and lungs. #Apollo50th @NASAMoon #NASAhistory
We (myself included) have taken this for granted for 50 years. But … Damn, we built rockets, spaceships, protective suits, & all the comm/control systems to make it work, … and then sent people to the MOON! And back! And we did all that with the primitive computing capabilities available back then … 🤦♂️
