The Earth gets hits by tons and tons of dust all the time yet it doesn't
seem to bother her none :) Yep, that's right we are gaining weight all the
time... of coarse the last correction of the gravitation constant knocked
some 6,000,000,000,000 metric tons off the scale so we can add a lot of dust
without causing any problems. In fact, all the metallic dust would most
likely help the planet / moon much more than hurt it.
