It's a fundie talking point that the moon only has 6,000 years worth of dust on it, because the astronauts only sank a quarter inch into the regolith (if you can get them to admit Apollo wasn't fake). Actual materials engineers tried to tell them that's not how dust works, but that went over like Dr. Fauci telling 'em to vax up.
