Did astronauts leave footprints on the moon? Our Young-Earth Creationist physics teacher stated that he does not believe that man actually stepped on the moon. That topic has been well covered here. One of his arguments, however, was that gravity on the moon was not strong enough for astronauts to leave their footprints there. Is this true?

People have stepped on the Moon when they went there and left footprints, so we've plenty of photographic evidence of their footsteps on the Moon.

In fact, it turns out that people do leave footprint in dust, even if they weigh less, like a child leaves footprints on Earth while weighing as much as a man on the Moon.

# Pictures taken from the Moon itself

The Wikipedia page on Buzz Aldrin has plenty of pictures of his footprints on the moon.
