I understand that lunar dust got into everything... finer than sand.

Does it smell like modern smokeless powder or good ‘ol black powder?

I remember hearing one of the astronauts mention that the moon smells like burnt matches and I can’t think about it without the olfactory illusion of burnt matches.

well the moon can still exude gas even without atmosphere, so they smell it.
all of these sorts of evidences terrestrial/and not make me suspicious of the ‘scientists’ age estimates. My guess? things are a lot younger than they say they are.
Does that mean i believe in a 6,000 year old earth? not right now.

Resolution/sensitivity is probably far too low.

Because NASA forgot to turn on the Star Lights in the Lunar Landing Studio in that picture??

For one thing, with this gunpowder smell, it’s obvious that the Moon was built by the Chinese...

Perhaps also filters such as that seen on the visor of the astronaut.
The earth’s atmosphere filters out a substantial amount and cross section of EM radiation (allowing some of that portion which we see here). These filters are strong enough to block stars as well.

The Moon has a sodium atmosphere.
