Sorry, I can't help it. I have to bite...
Reap: not all the pictures were perfect. i've seen a number of badones myself. Just like any magazine out there. NASA mostly published the best ones.

There is no dust flying about, simply because there is no air on the moon. some of the dust did scatter when the LM landed. i've even seen it on some
vids. but the thrusters don't kickup a lot of dust like they would on earth. read this if you want more details.

STOLENSCRIPTURE: The radiation was not an issue at all. There are many kinds of radiation. Some can be blocked with a peice of paper. Others need
thick slabs of lead. The radiation around earth was proton radiation. It can basicly be blocked by a peice of wood. For more information about
radiation go here:

As for the footage of the first step on the moon? I believe there was an external camera, but then i'm not supposed to tell you that cause you said
not too... Armstrong also did a lot of filming of Aldrin coming out of the LM. I think some TV programs tend to use that footage cause it's much
clearer and of better quality than of the footage of Armstrong coming out. But i'd need to research that more to be sure.
Regardless of how you flimsy the LM looks to you it was fairly sturdy and works in space. It wasn't made to fly on earth.
We can't go back to the moon because:
1) NASA doesn't have anything to get to the moon with.
2) NASA doesn't have the funding to develop a vessle to get to the moon let alone develop a base on it. We're having a hard enough time with the
ISS.
