you use a rude name and poo-poo this idea.
Can you just clear it up for me - explain why a rocket doesn't kick up dust on the surface of the moon?
I've looked at other things - fishy pics, radio delay, flags blowing, inconsistent lightning, radiation - and none of it does too much for me. both sides claim to have debunked the other. Whatever.
240, for dust to accumulate on the surface so it can later be disturbed by whatever force, there needs to be an atmosphere or some sort of flowing medium that weathers things and carries the miniscule particles to other places.
Simply put, unlike the Earth or other planets / some cosmic bodies, the moon is just a dead rock (on the surface) that has no atmosphere surrounding it (Mars has a thin one that causes the dust storms you can read about in news archives).
So there is no flow of the two main mediums of transport (air and all 3 forms of water), which is also the reason why there is no weathering, bar the inconsiderable amount bought about by solar radiation or the occasional object falling into the satellite. The Moon might have sub-surface Geothermal activity, but this is something that can be argued for just as strongly as it can be argued against.
Plus, the cameras back then weren't exactly high resolution. The thing is, it's not that unimaginably hard to send someone to the Moon and back successfully
. Hope this helped
