A new analysis based on an Apollo scientist's copies of lost NASA data seeks to determine how sticky, abrasive moon dust will affect lengthier future lunar missions. The author of the new study, Brian O'Brien, was the principal investigator for the dust detectors left behind in 1969 by the first two manned missions to the Moon, Apollo 11 and Apollo 12. At the time, O'Brien was a professor of space science at Rice University in Houston, Texas. (source: nature.com)
