I'll go along with 'no footprints'. The astronauts were wearing boots when they landed. The bootprints will stay there until a meteor type thing lands on them, or until someone else (in boots) walks over them. Not a lot of wind on the moon.

The prints of shoes, boots, sandals, and other things worn on the foot are normally called "footprints". So the footprints of the Apollo astronauts on the moon should be there forever.

About 10 million years.
Tiny meteorites are hitting the moon all the time and spraying up dust with falls back down onto the surface. After about 10 million years, the footprints will be covered.
There's very good evidence that men did go to the moon.
