How do we explain the death of an astronaut on the moon in light of the verse: "From it We created you, and into it We shall return you, and from it We shall bring you forth once more"?

The meaning of the noble verse is that Adam and his progeny were created from the earth, and they will be buried in it after death, then they will be brought forth from it at the Resurrection. If the astronaut is buried in the earth, then what the verse mentioned has been fulfilled. If he is not buried in it, there is no problem, for some people die by burning or by being eaten by predators, then Allah gathers them and resurrects them.
