Despite the low gravity, the complete lack of atmosphere would allow the dust to settle as fast as if you dropped a brick from the same height.

- TeMPOraL 5y agoRight. I'm mostly worried about dust reaching near-escape velocities, allowing it to take its sweet time as it falls back down. I'd have to do some math to see if this is an actual problem - it might be that it's very hard to create such a cloud.
