Also you DON'T FUCKING WANT GRAPHITE DUST FLOATING AROUND IN ZERO G

Why not? I'm not well versed in the theme. Would it be flammable?

edit: just saw another post mentioning this: lack of gravity, enter floating in the electronic, causing short circuits as main risk.

Also your body doesn't do a good job of breaking it down either. Id imagine that in your lungs would suck.

I have a piece of graphite in my leg from 7th grade still. I'm 33.

I have a graphite stain in my palm from 8th grade and I'm 40.
