I heard every single word you said, I swear. My brain just decided that it needed that space to ponder just how fine moon dust is while you were speaking, so your audio was never processed.
But we can try again if you want!

so just how fine is moon dust?
Very. But the main issue is that there's no wind or water around, even gravity is wimpy. This compounds the problem.
So, on one hand, there's no erosion to smooth the sand particles, so it's not really sand, it's more like very small shards of very sharp glass, that stay that way forever.
Since there's no wind or water or even proper gravity, once it sticks to you, it's not letting go. Even minimal electrostatic forces make you a magnet for these sharp shards, so now you're coated in a layer of extremely abrasive particles that you're not getting rid of, and eventually it'll get into your suit and kill you.
I really feel the need to share this concern, especially because I'll probably forget it soon, but I see that somehow I missed what you were saying, and if I share this fascinating fact with you now I'm in even deeper trouble, so I'll just take the loss here and apologise...
