So the astronauts have breathed the meteor into their lungs? Funky ...
- da_chicken 8y agoThey're breathing far more dead skin. So are you, though.
- w-ll 8y agoYes, but that's organic and pretty normal. Aren't meteors and say moon dust dangerous because its very sharp and jagged?
- UpshotKnothole 8y agoOnce it’s flashed to a plasma and turned into sub-micron dust? Probably not. The danger if there is any would be if the remaining particulates (assuming it wasn’t mostly reduced to heat, light and some basic elements) are friable.
- maxxxxx 8y agoI would expect much more stuff to be in the air under zero gravity. On earth dust will settle on the ground but I assume in the ISS it will keep floating around.
