And then, when all hope seemed lost, Mankind finally finds Dust. Dust, which hadn't been found in the previous hundreds or thousands of years. Now, suddenly, we found a bunch of it.... And next thing you know, Dust is everywhere. It's a common power source. An entire family has made their riches off of it. Many resources have been present for millenia, yet it took humanity thousands of years to find them (or at least, recognize them as a resource and not a glorified rock). Yet after they found it, it was used for many things in different areas, leading to great advances.

Such is Dust. It's not that it literally just appeared one day out of nowhere. It's that humanity finally recognized it and it's myriad applications, and took advantage of it.

My own idea as to the moon's broken state, however, is simple. Dust explosion............then they made a moon base...which became a moon colony Problem: Dust stops working as it leaves Remnant's atmosphere. Not explode, simply stop working. In the WoR they even stated they haven't managed to send satelites or even rockets into space because of it. Them making a moon base is simply impossible to begin with.
