Flashback question ($100,000 - 2008)
After visiting the Moon, several Apollo astronauts have reported that moondust smells like what?
a. Burnt gunpowder
b. Mothballs
c. Diesel gasoline
d. Melting plastic

answer

a. Burnt gunpowder

Interesting as I had not heard that before.

I am guessing the didn't pop open the visor whilst on the moon and take a deep sniff. Perhaps they had the samples open in the LM but wouldn't they have kept them sealed until they got back home? Although I suppose they would have tracked some in with them.

Still, one wouldn't have to be an astronaut who went to the moon to know this right? Any of the scientist who studied the material that was brought back would know as well.

I guess the Q sounds more glamorous if you throw in the astronaut angle.

I knew this one, but I dunno where I knew it from. Probably it was from seeing it the first time on BAM.
