so you open the door to the vehicle and you re now staring at the back of your suit, and you climb into the back. so now your suit and your cabin are pressurised. you seal it up and then you close the cabin door, so you can go climb in a spacesuit while i stay in here and we don t have to depressurise the cabin. and that means all of the moondust that collects on the spacesuit never gets into our atmosphere. the whole suit stays on the outside of the vehicle. yeah. that s genius. mind you, moondust may have its uses as a building material, and that s something that lara lewington s been investigating at the european space agency in the netherlands. this structure has been 3d printed using a combination of elements that could be found on earth that replicate the qualities of moondust.
shards are kind of how it is on the moon since there s no erosion or wind to tumble those little pieces. and that s one of the reasons we re pushing to have suit ports with the spacesuits on the outside of the vehicle. so at the end of these beds back here, there s a door to the vehicle. so you open the door to the vehicle and you re now staring at the back of your suit, and you climb into the back. so now your suit and your cabin are pressurised. you seal it up and then you close the cabin door, so you can go climb in a spacesuit while i stay in here and we don t have to depressurise the cabin. and that means all of the moondust that collects on the spacesuit never gets into our atmosphere. the whole suit stays on the outside of the vehicle. yeah. that s genius. mind you, moondust may
