@AnarchoCatgirlism Great info! Another fun fact is that large spaceships lifting off may propel moondust to orbit heights, and enough activity could cause scouring across the surface. It would be ironic if the greatest threat isn't micrometeors, but your neighbor constantly landing and taking off. The first missions need to be for setting up a stable dust-free landing pad.

Having been a passenger on a small boat, moving at speed across a lake, the wind blasts you in the face, as does any sand on the front of the boat. Do we compare moon dust speed with this or perhaps with sandblasting, the techniue used to move rust or other contaminents from objects such as car parts, during repairs.?
@zleap @AnarchoCatgirlism More like sand-scouring. The particles can be going over 1,000 m/s, 2200+ mph. 3 times the speed of sound.
