Default Re: OT: Let\'s all go to the Moon...

Actually... The articles state that at least in the case of the moon the biggest problem with the dust is that it hovers above the surface and as you walk through it it clings to you. This is apparantly due to electric charge in the dust. Based on that you can do several things to either bring it down to the ground again so it doesn't have the problem of cling or you can charge the equipment so it repels the dust. Something like one of those. So at least on the moon the dust problem at least seems to be settled.
