Philip Metzger explains why moon dust, lunar regolith, and rocket exhaust create a serious problem for future Moon landings.

The conversation covers how lunar landers can blast high-speed dust across the Moon, damaging space hardware, telescopes, solar panels, antennas, sensors, thermal control systems, and future lunar infrastructure.

Metzger also explains why Starship, Artemis, lunar bases, landing pads, and Moon governance all depend on answering one unresolved question: how close can spacecraft safely land to existing equipment on the lunar surface?
