Because they are traveling at high rates of speed and there is no atmosphere to slow them down before they could contact people or craft, which could cause death or damage.

Why are the sun's rays more dangerous on the moon than on earth?
Because the Moon has no atmosphere to filter out dangerous radiation.
Why is the moon dangerous when solar eclipse and not dangerous when lunar eclipse?
The moon has nothing to do with any 'danger'. The dangerous act is looking at the sun, which people are likely to do during a solar eclipse.
Is carbon dioxide on the moon?
It is declared before that there is neither atmosphere nor carbon dioxide on the moon.However, some Indian scientists are researching arguments that claim there is carbon dioxide on the moon. Refer to link below.One source of the lunar atmosphere is out gassing the release of gases such as radon and helium resulting from radioactive decay within the crust and mantle. Another important source is the bombardment of the lunar surface by micrometeorites, the solar wind, and sunlight, in a process known as sputtering.[
Why is it dangerous to look directly at the moon during a solar eclipse but not during lunar eclipse?
During a lunar eclipse the earth is between the sun and the moon, casting a shadow over the moon. So while you are watching the eclipse there is no danger of accidentally looking directly at the sun. During a solar eclipse the moon passes between the earth and the sun so the moon partially blocks out light from the sun. Thus to watch a solar eclipse requires looking directly at the sun which is very dangerous for the naked eye. So to avoid the risk of serious damage to the eye, you should only observe a solar eclipse using an indirect method.
Why is a Solar Eclipse So Dangerous?
If you are referring to you eyes, no, definitely not. A SOLAR eclipse is what is dangerous to look at, because the moon is in front of the sun. In a lunar eclipse the sun is in front of the moon. The logic might seem kinda backwards, but it all adds up to the single word that NO, lunar eclipses ARE NOT DANGEROUS.
Is Lunar Dust on the moon actually volcanic ash?
No. The dust on the moon is accumulated micrometeorites.
Causes of mechanical weathering on the moon?
The major cause of mechanical weathering on the moon is micrometeorites. These tiny rocks hit the moons surface and over time, change it.
If you left footprints on the moon what would happen to them?
The footprints on the moon left by the astronauts will still be there in a few thousand years. They will eventually be covered with new dust from micrometeorites.
Why is the Moon's surface not worn and change like the earth's surface?
No atmosphere or water to do any weathering. The weathering of the moon largely consists of being hit by micrometeorites, mostly dust-sized.
Why is the moon dangerous?
It is not dangerous
What would a house on the moon be made of?
The basic requirements would be any material that could be made airtight and heat insulated. In addition it would need to withstand solar flares and micrometeorites.
Is the full moon dangerous?
No.

Why is the moon dangerous when solar eclipse and not dangerous when lunar eclipse?

Why is it dangerous to travel during a full moon?
It actually isn't dangerous if you are driving, because the Full Moon actually helps you see in the dark.
Why was getting to the moon so dangerous?
I think that getting to the moon was so dangerous because of the radiation belt and we didnt have good protection against that.
Is the moon dangeres?
No, the moon is not dangerous. We can be born on earth, live out or lives, and die without ever being in danger because of the moon. In some ways the moon affects earth (tides), but not in a way that most people would consider it (the moon) to be dangerous.
