Some of those Apollo 17 photos are especially epic, did he fall over? I have heard that the moon dust is electrostaticly charged and sticks to everything, but it is all over him, and those selfies. He looks terrible, exactly like I would expect someone to look with 12 days, no shower, in a vehicle the size of a cargo van with 2 other dudes, after grubbing around in electrostatic dust. Salutes
My understanding is that there is a lot of very fine lunar dust and in the lower gravity even a small amount of static electricity on you means that you are quickly covered in the dust.
