    Once BBC World telecast a program on the first steps on the Moon. They pointed out that the dust settled much quickly back on the surface of Moon as compared to the walking man. Why was that so?

    Question #49097. Asked by Trango Tower. (Jul 06 04 5:45 AM)

    		French amateur astronomer-photographer, Philippe Lheureux, claims in his new book that some of the photos said to have been taken by US astronauts on the 1969 Moon landing were actually faked on Earth. Why? Lheureux says that NASA released fake pictures to prevent rival countries from making use of scientific information contained in some of the genuine photos. One of the photos shows a lunar landing craft's foot as completely dust-free, while Mr Lheureux says that according to astronaut Neil Armstrong, the landing threw up a lot of dust.
