Corrected entry: Early in the movie, when the Aries moon shuttle touches down on the covered/shielded landing platform, a considerable amount of dust is kicked up by the engines. But with no atmosphere to blow dust around, it couldn't have blown in from the moon's surface and since this is seemingly the only landing site at the base, it wasn't caused by other landers. Nice effect, though.

Correction: Watch the scene again - that's not dust. It is rocket exhaust from the Aries moon shuttle itself.
You may be correct! I'll have to withhold judgement till I see the movie again.
