This is great even from the standpoint of wanting to go to Mars since it means setting up camp in a cave is now possible to try out much closer to home first. Kinda like sleeping in a tent in your backyard first. Makes the moon that much more exciting to know there's caves too.

Moon has different challenges though. One being no erosion, moon dust is abrasive af.

Yea, like a giant pile of statically charged asbestos that are hard to clean away.

So, together it sounds like you guys are saying that moon dust is "coarse and rough and irritating… and it gets everywhere."
