With all this talk about mining/colonizing the moon, is there a concern about dust?

How will we have a bunch of commotion up there and not kick up a lot of dust that doesn’t fall out of the air quickly?

There’s *always* a large cloud of dust surrounding the moon.

Even the very first mission had huge problems with dust getting in everything.

The new missions aren’t going to actually change anything.
