Moondust is a beautiful word but do you know how it feels, tastes, and smells?

It feels like snow, soft but incredibly abrasive. It doesn’t taste half bad, if Apollo 16 astronaut John Young is to be believed. It smells like spent gunpowder, declares Apoolo 17 astronaut Gene Cernan.

But just so you know, that beautiful-sounding part of the moon – moondust – is something you might need EcoQuest International marketplace products for. Astronauts have felt, sniffed, and tasted moondust and what’s more, one of them got extraterrestrial hay fever as a result.

Moondust is clingy, clingier than contemporary fabricseven. It sticks to exposed surfaces quite easily. Boots, spacesuits, gloves – you name it, moondust clings to it. And while it smells of gunpowder, it is certainly nothing like gunpowder, component-wise anyway.

Strangely, the moment moondust enters Earth’s surface, its smell alters. No matter what container you put it in, its smell changes and becomes neutralized the very minute it comes into contact with moist, oxygen-rich air.
