What makes the moon's surface so difficult to deal with? Thomas Moore has visited a simulator mimicking the lunar surface to better understand the challenge facing astronauts hoping to step foot on the moon in the future. 🔗

@SkyNewsThomas If Apollo 11 landed on the Moon in 1969, why is Artemis II only flying around it instead of landing?

@SkyNewsThomas Did he just say the Moon has no gravity?

@SkyNewsThomas Once again proving NO ONE has ever landed on the moon!

@SkyNewsThomas Nearly 60 years ago they did it 6 times. Think about the huge jump in technology and computing since the early 70's !!! How on Earth is NASA so dumb today 😳 Sorry, I don't get it at all.

This guy is an idiot, and they should have fact-checked what he said before they sent it out. On the Moon there’s essentially no atmosphere, so dust doesn’t stay suspended in air the way it does on Earth. When it’s disturbed, it follows a ballistic path—like a thrown object in a vacuum—so it goes up and comes back down in a curved arc (a parabola), governed by gravity.

@SkyNewsThomas Have they tried using a picnic chair again?

@SkyNewsThomas Why doesn’t the dust being kicked up by the rover linger?

@SkyNewsThomas “Oh see, they just exposed themselves” Yeah cos they are so dumb to show you the stuff they used to fake the moon landing. You people should think oo lmao.

@SkyNewsThomas These are the sort of projects that DOGE stopped government funding for

@SkyNewsThomas More they speak like this the more it becomes obvious we never went to the moon in the first place.

@SkyNewsThomas This is Propaganda. The models used by Nasa to understand conditions on the moon do not have great fidelity. This is very speculative.

@SkyNewsThomas Sorted

@SkyNewsThomas The regolith does not swirl and “form a cloud”. There’s no atmosphere to interact with, it falls straight down in an arc.

@SkyNewsThomas 2026: This stuff is super dangerous. You must very careful Meanwhile in 1969:

@SkyNewsThomas The Moon’s surface is extremely challenging due to its fine, abrasive regolith that clings to equipment, extreme temperature swings, and very low gravity that complicates movement and stability. These factors make even basic operations difficult for astronauts and machinery.

@SkyNewsThomas Why don’t we just do what we did before… right?

@SkyNewsThomas Ah yes, the moon dust: difficult to walk or drive on, but no problem landing or launching the Apollo craft from it. Weird that.

Is it possible to organize the dust? Thru an emitted frequency to hold it in position for the landing of the vehicle Or even adding a tuned frequency that can be distributed thru the ship to clear dust off the ship and also point n aim the direction for stability clearing might work

@SkyNewsThomas This clearly leads to the conclusion that we have never been on the moon...

@SkyNewsThomas Wasn’t this done in 1969? Why acting like this is impossible and doing it today with all the technological advancement is somehow more challenging? Sus

@SkyNewsThomas This is how they did it 😅

@SkyNewsThomas Without gravity? The moon has gravity you morons

@SkyNewsThomas They already been there done that 🤣😂🤣 behaving as if this is the first time we are going there 😁☺️

@SkyNewsThomas fuck off

@SkyNewsThomas

Sky News nailed it with this report. The moon's regolith is nasty stuff – super fine, abrasive dust that sticks to everything and makes walking or driving a real nightmare in low gravity. Proper testing in simulators like this is exactly why Artemis is taking a smart, step-by-step approach instead of rushing. Safety first for the next generation of lunar explorers. Solid journalism. 🚀

@SkyNewsThomas Amazing how no cement mix (sorry dust) touched the lander 🧐🧐 ???

@SkyNewsThomas That Sky News reporter is obsessed with masks! 😷 😂

@SkyNewsThomas Neil and Buzz had no problems with the moon dust 🤔💭🤔

@SkyNewsThomas 🤡

@SkyNewsThomas No one is landing on the moon surface anytime soon

@SkyNewsThomas If you landed on the moon before, shouldn't you just use the previous notes?

@SkyNewsThomas He's mumbling lol .

@SkyNewsThomas moore have you got a tie on
