The 200 degree tempreture I mentioned was based on tempreture mesurements made of moon rocks, which have a high degree of refletivity, in direct sunlight.
High reflectivity?????? The albedo (reflectivity) of the moon is 0.07-0.11 (i.e. black as fresh laid asphalt). Not exactly "a high degree of reflectivity".

And what would have done the damage? Heat.
Assymetric thermal gradient!
