Moon Dust impacting at 30km per second,Dust fountains in the lunar sky,Lmv covered in it yet the Astronauts have spanking new suits

Have you seen a single photograph of the Apollo surface record, or are you just making shit up out of your own limited imagination?

Those suits were COVERED in dust at the end of each EVA.

The photographs I have seen show clean white Suits even after travelling on the lmv.Show me a picture of the Apollo Astronauts covered in Moon Dust then and I promise I will believe you.

YEP!

The visor even look new.Forget the end of the eva,they should be covered within 10 mins.Maybe the pictures I have seen have been tidied up?

Hi-rez, just so you can't miss it.

Actually, I should add -- although the dust does "fly" during some operations (such as, from the Rover tires, especially when the fenders broke), it always flies in straight lines. Unlike on Earth, where dust hangs in the air and is evenly deposited on all exposed surfaces, the astronauts largely got dust where they came into direct contact with it.

This was still enough to get all over camera lenses, and even darken the body of the camera itself enough (the TV camera, that is) to put it at risk of overheating if not dusted off regularly. If you follow the transcripts, particularly on the Rover missions the astronauts spent a lot of time dusting!

Most pictures you'll see floating around the web HAVE been retouched, by National Geographic or Time or whoever was printing them. Dark skies were touched up, values pushed for contrast. Since the dust is usually at a favorable angle to the light, and the suits were close to exposure limits anyhow, when the photo is pushed you tend to get a very white suit with very little surface detail against a pale surface background. With the contrast enhanced to bring out the shadows, this only gets worse.

Look at the dust being kicked up by the boot. Very difficult to fake that type of low gravity behavior...
