Permanent Footprints

Did you know that the Apollo astronauts' footprints on the moon will stay there for approximately 100 million years? This is because the Moon has no atmosphere so there is no wind or water to erode the footprints away. However, there are micrometeorites that hit the moon so erosion is still taking place but at a slower rate.
