From BBC News, 1966-02-03, regarding the successful soft-landing of the Soviet Luna 9 probe:

The landing also confirms suggestions from photographs sent back by the American Ranger probes that the Moon's surface is firm, and not covered with a soft layer of dust as some astronomers had thought.

The proof that astronauts visiting the Moon will not sink into a dusty quicksand will give added impetus to the race to land the first man on the Moon.
