Does it? I would have thought it merely illustrates that unlike the Earth, the moon has little or nothing in the way of atmosphere… and dust is usually generated as a result of particles which combine as they are buffeted around by the movement of atmospheric molecules. Also, the moon’s gravity is two thirds less than it is on Earth… which in turn means that dust is practically weightless, and therefore doesn’t settle. But of course there is little point in saying so, because as far as Fenech in concerned, it is the word of God alone that counts.

No. Dust on the moon is caused by radiation breakdown. Before Apollo 11, claims of 5-10 billion year old solar system implied a prediction of several hundred feet of dust based upon the known rate of this breakdown. Hence the trashcan lid - sized pads on that lunar module. Surprise was that fractions of an inch was found. Back to the drawing board.
