Whoever told you this is wrong. Duct Tape is useful everywhere. See:

But you'd have some major trouble with suction cups!
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.
What else can I help you with?
Did the astronauts of Apollo 13 use duct tape?
Yes, the astronauts of Apollo 13 used duct tape to help solve problems during their mission. They used it to create makeshift solutions in repairing various systems and equipment on the spacecraft. The duct tape played a crucial role in helping the astronauts make it back safely to Earth.
Did NASA fund Sony research for tape recorders to use in Apollo space program?
Yes, NASA did fund Sony's research into developing miniaturized tape recorders for the Apollo space program. These tape recorders were crucial for recording data and communications during the missions. Sony's efforts in creating compact, reliable technology helped advance space exploration capabilities.
What tools would you bring in space?
In space, I would bring tools essential for maintenance and repairs, such as a multi-tool, duct tape, and a portable power drill. These tools would help fix equipment and conduct experiments in a microgravity environment. Additionally, I would include a laptop with specialized software for data analysis and communication. Finally, a comprehensive first aid kit would be vital for addressing any medical emergencies.
How did duct tape save the lives of the Apollo 13 crew?
It helped save the crew because it put together the pieces of the land Rover so they could get back to their space craft. The preceding answer is completely bogus. Apollo 13 suffered a series of malfunctions and a major explosion on the first day of the mission, which immediately required an improvised mission abort plan. Because the service module was badly damaged by the explosion, the 3 man crew evacuated to the lunar landing module. The CO2 filtering system for the LM was designed for only 2 people for only 3 days, and the filter quickly became saturated. NASA engineers on the ground figured out how to use the spare CO2 filters from the command module, which were of a different size and configuration from the LM filter, piecing together space suit hoses, cardboard from a supply box, plastic bags and holding it all together with lots of DUCT TAPE. They talked the Apollo 13 astronauts through the steps required to make and install the make-shift filter, now referred to as the "mailbox" and it worked. Without this solution, the Apollo 13 crew would have died from CO2 poisoning. Duct tape was used on Apollo 17's lunar rover...to hold together a makeshift fender after they discovered that gritty lunar dust thrown up by the rover's tires was clogging the instruments and space suit filters.
Who works in space?
Astronauts are the individuals who work in space. They are specially trained to live and work in the unique environment of space stations, such as the International Space Station. Astronauts conduct scientific research, maintain spacecraft systems, and perform spacewalks to repair and upgrade equipment.
What is the best method for sealing duct work using duct work tape?
The best method for sealing duct work using duct tape is to clean the surface of the duct work thoroughly before applying the tape. Make sure the tape is tightly wrapped around the joints or gaps to create a secure seal. It is also recommended to use UL 181-approved tape for better durability and effectiveness in sealing the duct work.
What do you use to design duct tape wallets?
Diffrent color duct tape could work or sparkles.
Duct tape business names?

How does duck tape work?
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.

What are the most rarest duct tape designs?
One of the rarest types of duct tape is neon yellow duct tape.
How do you seal duct vents?
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. If you need to cover a hole you will need to screw a piece of metal on the duct over the hole and tape over the edges of your patch. this is the simplest and cheapest way I know to do it.
