Please allow me a dissenting view!
The suggestion that the Moon has nothing to reflect off is simply wrong. You
can read a book by its light on Earth a quarter million miles away on a clear
Full Moon night. It has an albeido of 7%!
Now if you were standing on it and there were scratches and dust on your visor,
however small and/or sparse, the glare would certainly shut down your irises.
But apart from that, and I think you may have the expertise to evaluate this
suggestion, you don't have to be looking at a bright object in order for your
irises to close down -- it is only necessary that light can enter your eyes
from an object at any angle. I speak from the perspective of someone who both
wears spectacles and sands wood.

Philip,
Your post seems strangely geared toward sowing confusion and resisting
progress. Perhaps you are on one of your Devil's Advocate trips, but please do
not take such positions for the hell of it.
The windows of the shuttle reflect light , just like in a railway carriage at
night. Of course you would need to turn off the lights, or else press yourself
right up against the glass.
The Moon has no such effect, because there is nothing for the light to reflect
off. Specifically, there is no atmosphere. Look away from the surface and there
is no light entering your eye except from ... the stars.
No one here is "grasping at straws." Why are you so reluctant to accept this
NASA U-turn on seeing stars?
Neville
