Toxic Moondust Bounces Like A Cannonball

Jotii writes "A new NASA article says that moondust fetched to Earth by Apollo 17 is now being studied. From the article: 'Zen-like, he studies the a single mote of dust suspended inside a basketball-sized vacuum chamber for as long as 10 to 12 days.' Moondust is apparently very static, and bounces like cannonballs. Another article from NASA emphasizes the dust's toxicity: 'In some ways, lunar dust resembles the silica dust on Earth that causes silicosis, a serious disease.'"

or maybe they died from the extreme cold, lack of oxygen and mass radiation exposure..

It would have most likely been the extreme HEAT, at 107 C to 123 C daytime lunar surface temperatures, that combined with the lack of air pressure, all body fluids would boil quite quickly.
