Well the moon was formed by an impact of similar proportions so the debris field is making it to the moon.

Interestingly, probably not! When the moon formed it was MUCH closer to earth. The moon is ever so slowly moving away from the planet, bit by bit. So a fresh debris field from a sufficiently similar impact wouldn't reach as far as the moon is today
