Although the gravitational field of the moon is much weaker than that of the Earth, it is still stong enough to cause rocks and dust to fall to the surface; they just fall more slowly than they would on Earth. And what makes you think that human beings would float away into space? It takes a rocket to get off of the moon. That's how the Apollo astronauts did it.
