9. The Moon is an entire world

It's not exactly like a traffic jam is forming up there. The surface of the Moon is comparable in size to the entire land area of the Earth (Earth having oceans, and the smaller Moon not). The only way someone is going to mess with Neil and Buzz's footprints is if they very carefully plan to do so. At that, realistically what they would be trashing up is... the trash we left last time we went there. Recall that one of the first popular fictional treatments of a return to the Moon was the 70's movie-then-TV-series Salvage One, about "a junk man who had a dream" to go to the Moon, get all the garbage Nasa left lying around up there, bring it back and sell it.
