it sure is, luckily you're in the right place to learn more up-to-date science!

For example, in the last sixty years we have learned about a whole lot about lunar regolith. For example, Luna is NOT covered in hundreds of meters of liquid dust. We have also learned that yes(!) footprints WILL actually stay unchanged for eons and eons, only slowly eroded by micrometeoroid bombardment!

Aren't you glad that today you learned something new!
