So what? It's not pitch black in the shadow. He would still be able to see the ground in the shadowed side.
I can't understand those who still debate weather the moon has an atmosphere or not. I think there has been enough evidence collected to firmly attest to the moon having an atmosphere. That being the case, there is a debate about gravity of the moon.

Because your statement does not agree with the astronaut's description of being in shadow.
Nor the video/film that we see.

HRH: Bill, I need you to write something for the President in case Apollo 11 has a disaster on the moon...
WS: What kind of disaster were you thinking of? I'm a writer you know I need a few details.
HRH: Armstrong and Aldrin are trapped on the moon and can't get back to Earth...
WS: What about Collins then, does he make it?
(Nixon, who has tapped Safire's phones, breaks onto the line)
RMN: Forget about Collins, just go with my scenario, "THINK BIG", jesus christ Bill... you Jewish son of a bitch!
WS: But I'm not a Hollywood jew, I'm *your* jew, Dick
RMN: That's right now forget about Collins..
WS: Collins who? Who's Collins!
RMN & HRH: ...... maniacal laughter ....... Bob, ok that's a wrap. As they say in Hollywood ..... more maniacal laughter ....
HRH: He doesn't know?
RMN: I don't give a damn. Hollywood wants to beat the Russians as bad as I do... we scared them and they're doing great work with the Nazi lenses we scooped from the Swiss. Still can't trust the bastards.

Where did the 1/6th figure originally came from?
Perhaps you would prefer your information straight from NASA... In fact, Im sure you would because yours is a mind firmly grounded in MSM science DJ, so to that extent, Ill offer you something that I would be suprised you have not READ
Okay, I'll bite. What evidence do you have that the Moon has an "atmosphere." Not a tenuous, temporary "exosphere," but an atmosphere dense enough to affect the fall of a feather and call 1/6 gravity into question.

What about Michael Collins then?
Why bother to write a speech at all? In the event of a real moon disaster it would take less than 5 minutes for a press secretary to whip up a genuine statement.

Speaking of READ, perhaps you should re-read my post:

Maybe that's why we are sending 2 "Holy" GRAIL probes to measure the moon's gravity next week for a 90~day mission. These probes will analyze the gravity down to the precision of a human blood cell. And then NASA is going to crash them into the moon!!

There is no such thing as a "tenuous temporary exosphere" this is a made up term as it does not occur in other observations within our means.
Right about now, you might be thinking to yourself: "Hold on a second. I thought the Moon doesn't have an atmosphere!" And you would be almost correct. The Moon's "atmosphere" is so tenuous that it's technically considered an exosphere, not an atmosphere.
And the weirdness of the exosphere doesn't stop there. During the lunar night, the Moon's exosphere mostly falls to the ground. (Just imagine if our atmosphere fell to the ground at night!) When sunlight returns, the solar wind kicks up new particles to replenish the exosphere.
That being said, please demonstrate one other known moon of any planet in our solar system that shares the same properties as our moon. Those precisely being, the exact distance from the earth needed to provide a perfect solar eclipse, the rotational speed to exactly match the orbit of the earth to blind us from one side completely.

"tenuous... exosphere."

Sure sounds "temporary" to me.

How does this affect the materiality of the lunar landings?

Just as a note, the $375 Million dollar crash probes should be crashing into the moon late December 2011, along with the 10 crash cameras. This does not strike me as a scientific mission at all.
The DoD could simply take over the mission any time they want for national security purposes. The DoD could then lie, as they lied about Gulf of Tonkin, tell us that the probes crashed into the moon as planned. While the mission continues under a blanket of black budget bureaucracy and bullsh*t.
Please show any other example in our solar system (Which are ALOT) that display any other similarities to our moon such as a tenuous temporary exosphere.
Mercury is surrounded by a tenuous exosphere that is supplied primarily by the planet’s surface materials and is known to contain sodium, potassium, and calcium. Observations by the Mercury Atmospheric and Surface Composition Spectrometer during MESSENGER’s second Mercury flyby revealed the presence of neutral magnesium in the tail (anti-sunward) region of the exosphere, as well as differing spatial distributions of magnesium, calcium, and sodium atoms in both the tail and the nightside, near-planet exosphere. Analysis of these observations, supplemented by observations during the first Mercury flyby, as well as those by other MESSENGER instruments, suggests that the distinct spatial distributions arise from a combination of differences in source, transfer, and loss processes.
