Would the dust stick to the boots in no atmosphere? Look at the legs on that thing, lol. I can't believe I believed that.
Yes, and in fact the electrostatic attraction of dust is a problem. In a vacuum, there is no way for frictional-generated charge to leak off boots. So they electrostatically attract dust the same way that a record attracts dust and a rubbed balloon can pick up flour very visibly in a demo. When the astronauts re-entered capsule, they brought sharp-edge gritty dust with them.
The legs are spindly because of moon gravity, they only have to support 1/4 Earth weight.
Looks like an arts and crafts project XD. Foil and construction paper. Also the shadows go different directions.
They are on the moon there, or my name isn't Sato Samuel Chang McFlannery Kaiser Senior III
