I understand your viewpoint. I disagree that dust from mining on the moon would be cool and that the dust would be mostly invisible. Once mining begins, if the processing is successful and their objectives are met, the operations will most likely scale up and that is when the ability to spot these changes from earth will become easier. Thanks for contributing to this discussion.

to be clear, We are already talking about a hypothetical scenario where there are 8 billion people living on the moon, and your concern is that the mining could further scale up beyond this? If you are not interested in engaging further on the technical question of if dust would be visible, or the relative value of aesthetics vs utility, I guess there isn't anything to discuss at all.
