Yes, and how did it get inside? And what's stopping the rest? And where do you put what's captured? They're the same statement once you think about it some or have some domain experience

Not really the same thing. While, sure, there will always come more, it more like dust on earth. And you can just put it back outside. What your comment seemed to suggest, was trying to preemptively remove all the dust.

  That's exactly what you have to do when the dust is all glass powder Moon encampments need to be clean rooms with respect to the outside It's a little like being underwater in a dome. If you see stuff from the outside inside, there's a dangerous leak. Oh, except for that this dust kills you if you breathe it in, which water doesn't

> how did it get inside Some of it stuck to the outside of spacesuits and/or robots when they went outside. Neither should be going beyond some intermediate garage area anyway, just like you don't usually park your car in the bedroom. > And what's stopping the rest? The airlock door? There's no wind on the moon, so it won't blow inside on its own. > And where do you put what's captured? Well, I'd assume that once your vacuum cleaners are full you'd take a moon-lorry and dump the lot into a nearby crater or something. If it's as sharp as advertised, the sharp edges might make it well-suited for use in concrete as well. In any case you don't have to keep the entire moon clean, only the inside of the base. It doesn't seem to be a terrible burden to clean the suits and rovers after every expedition, more like something that you plan to do anyway because you want to keep those expensive things well-maintained.

  It's weird how your first answer contradicts the second Your assumptions about vacuum cleaners are fine. Do remember that it's sharp glass powder that immediately embeds, so that won't work I see that you have imaginary beliefs about how much work cleaning is. NASA says differently. Things that you guessed on the spot aren't interesting ways for you to argue.

Does your house have all of the dust in the world inside it?
- JohnHaugeland 4y ago
  No, but I live on a planet with erosion and weather, which is not how the moon works It's not actually a valid comparison. Having water fall from the sky really changes the nature of rock dust Dust on the moon is basically all what we would call obsidian glass dust (sharp) because it's made in asteroid impact craters
