(meteorobs) Fwd: An Explosion on the Moon

[Dr. Tony Phillips]

Dear Kearn et al.,

Moondust is very clingy, and when the Apollo astronauts walked around the 
moon dust got all over their space suits.  At the end of an EVA, they 
tramped the dust back inside the lunar module, took off their helmets and 
smelled the smell of moondust.
