    Forever. There is no wind or rain to wear them away.

    From CapainNemo's referenced site:

    "NASA scientists say that the footprints left on the moon in 1969 by astronauts Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong will last in their present form for over billion years.

    The footprints of the astronauts will not last forever because they will eventually be buried or worn by material falling on the moon."

    NASA-supported scientists have realized that something does happen every month on Moon's superficial when the Moon gets a lashing from Earth's magnetic tail.
