We got to discussing the dust problem on the moon from the rocket blast as they landed I don’t remember the calculations we used but based on how fine and powdery the dust was plus the low gravity it would have taken at the least two days before they could even see outside... Easy to set up a computer simulator to get the answer today.

WTF? You think that “based on how fine and powdery the dust was plus the low gravity it would have taken at the least two days before they could even see outside...

Maybe you could tell everyone what exactly would hold up the dust so long, given that there was virtually no atmosphere present?

The dust, even very fine particles, is going to fall ballistically under the influence of lunar gravity, because there is no atmosphere. It clears in a second or less.
