Here is the thing. All magic is is sufficiently advanced technology. If I went back in time three hundred years and showed the people a rocket launcher, I would be hailed as the main with the magic Great Destroyer. Just because we can't explain Dust with our level of technology on Earth, it doesn't mean Dust is magic. Dust to them is what fossil fuels or gunpowder is to us and appears to be a naturally occurring element you can mine for.

Also to the person above me, who is to say their technology isn't advanced enough? They have giant airships that schools can apparently own. Weapons themselves are on a completely different level from us and if Penny is indeed a robot, then people have the technology to make advanced AI and synthetic bodies. Who is to say they couldn't set up a base on the moon? Maybe they did, which is what caused it to blow up in the first place.
