...about 55 years till the footprints are obscured.

That's a lot less than time than 'my gut' tells me, but if it's even close to accurate it certainly answers my question.

I wonder, is there any information on how much dust has accumlated on the lander modules by this process since they were abandoned on the Moon? It seems like the kind of thing which boffins could estimate by reflected light or other reflected radiation.
