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.

The airlock door? There's no wind on the moon, so it won't blow inside on its own.

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.
- JohnHaugeland 4y agoIt'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.
