NASA is planning to send more astronauts to the Moon as part of its Artemis mission.
The last man to walk on the Moon—NASA astronaut Harrison Schmitt—suffered from an allergic reaction to Moon dust, and he has warned that other future visitors may too.
The dust got stuck to the suits, boots and tools of Schmitt and fellow astronaut Eugene Cernan, and was transported back into the lunar module. When he took his helmet off, Schmitt became congested., he told the Starmus audience about his experience of inhaling Moon dust:"First time I smelled the dust I had an allergic reaction, the inside of my nose became swollen, you could hear it in my voice.
