Duct tape saved one of the Apollo crews
They did have trouble getting duck (not "duct", it was used to seal the edges of canvas duck tarps to protect cargo from rain etc.) tape to hold on one of the later Apollo missions. The fender of the Lunar Rover needed repairing but was so dusty the duck tape wouldn't hold. They ended up using clamps to hold a spare map in place so the tire would not throw dust all over the astronauts.

It isn't duck tape, it is duct tape. Tape that is used to join and seal duct work. Very sticky tape. Duct tape also has a layer of interconnecting fibers to provide strength and rigidity. These fibers are also designed to be very strong, but if duct tape is ripped from the side at a 90-degree angle, the fibers break very easily resulting in easy usability without scissors or a knife.

With duct tape I install and maintain duct work for a living if you want to seal the joints just wrap the tape around the duct.
