Or at least get something for those allergies.

Moon dust is no joke.

Slip roads (not lanes) are for getting on and off of motorways. The biggest roads. You can just ask this stuff, you know. You are in a conversation with at least one (1) British person!

If I have a gaming question, I ask it here.

I don't go to gaming sites for civil engineering information.

Nor is anyone likely to turn to admonishing voices when looking for further information.

(Edit to add: BTW, "slip lane" is an equivalent term. Thanks for looking it up before telling me I was wrong.)

(Puts away strength of materials book and pouts.)

The crew have been commenting on the detail they got of the surface of the Moon, with their 400mm lens.

I'd been hoping they'd be able to capture some close-up shots of old moon landing sites with modern camera technology, but I haven't seen anything so far.

It would be cool to see if they are still exactly the same after so long. (There's no wind, I know, but a site could theoretically get hit by a meteorite or something. Or aliens could have come and moved things around. You never know!)

There's been a bunch of those over the years from unmanned probes.

Oh cool. Thanks. I must have missed them. I'll go look on Google.

Completely spitballing with no real knowledge, but without atmosphere and with low gravity, I could picture that regolith thrown up by an impact could travel far. So maybe a layer of dust over everything?

I also remember without at atmosphere to friction-smooth it like river pebbles, regolith dust was sharp and stuck to everything. And was a skin irritant.

Yeah, apparently it was a real problem in the later Apollo missions and will be a design challenge for the planned moonbase.
