Well that didn't work (windows outlook debacle). permalink fedilink source parent [–] trxxruraxvr@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago (2 children) Part of it yes, but I'd assume they also clean there sometimes. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] yakko@feddit.uk 1 point 7 months ago (1 child) Part of it is I don't know how skin particles will act inside a space station. Are there static electricity forces that would make it stick to surfaces, or does it remain suspended in air until the filtration gets to it? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] atomicorange@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago Static electricity would definitely be a factor, but there’s probably pretty good air circulation and filtering. That combined with regular wipe downs of surfaces probably keeps dust under control. I know the moon missions in the past had a hell of a time dealing with lunar dust. It’s super fine and static was sticking it to everything. permalink fedilink source parent
