Perhaps I should be discussing this option of making tonnes of large

Why not utilize at least the relatively failsafe interior of our moon,
that otherwise has such an abundance of nifty surface elements to
offer, as well as likely voids and/or low density (only slightly
compacted) material inside to deal with, including brines that should
have been trapped within/under that robust basalt crust.

Otherwise, you should ponder as to how much of our moon(Selene) is
carbonado?

Would you like to see those natural surface minerals, as merely
natural hue saturation enhanced in living color? (isn’t UV
fluorescence unavoidably nifty)
http://www.coronaborealis.org/images/full_moon_color.html

Here’s a somewhat less-saturated color/hue version
http://web.telia.com/~u18524382/moon_color.jpg

As long as we hold onto our moon(Selene) we can't possibly have
another ice age, not to mention those added TeraWatts worth of our
mostly sooty energy plus artificially vaporized and natural water
cycles made acidic by our CO2, NOx and of course loads of sulfur,
plus various natural and artificial ventings of raw/toxic methane
contributions that are not exactly helping. Thanks mostly to the
solar wind, we are also losing our precious helium and hydrogen by
100<1000 tonnes/sec (w/o solar wind that loss might average >10 tonnes/
sec, and without our contributions it might even conceivably drop >1 t/
sec). In other words, we seem to be making this global warming trend
a whole lot worse than mother nature could ever hope to achieve.

The good news is that essentially we’ll run ourselves out of many
natural reservoirs and buried kinds of raw elements, so that whatever
remains can readjust to the raped, plundered and pillaged reality of
getting on with the more natural trends of global geodynamics and its
diminished biodiversity of traumatized evolution that’ll have
considerably fewer humans to deal with.

Other than all that, plus a measured factor of global dimming that
absorbs more solar energy, what could possibly go wrong with the good
life w/o slow-ice on planet Eden/Earth?

Here’s a simplistic simulator package that has a little something for
everyone. (have yourself a ball)

Obviously aerodynamic drag (much greater before we had that moon), as
well as lacking important factors of the lithobraking, loss/transfer
of icy mass and other tidal forces of the sun are not involved within
this simulation, but none the less it’s a good enough example of how a
capture might actually be easily accomplished.
http://isthis4real.com/orbit.xml

There’s also the Roche Limit to consider:
“In 1848, Astronomer Edouard Roche noted that, if a satellite was
held together mainly by its own gravitational attraction, there would
be a minimum distance from the primary inside which the tidal forces
of the primary would exceed the satellite’s binding forces and would
tear it apart [Hoskin, 1996].”

The Roche Limit for two bodies is approximated by a function of their
densities:
Earth 18,470 km
Jupiter 175,000
Saturn 147,000
Uranus 62,000

Each near miss by that process of capturing an icy Selene of perhaps
8e22 kg, would have pulled large portions of that thick ice away from
its surface, and thereby making its capture easier as mass and thereby
energy is extracted from Selene.

As long as we can’t afford to establish those Mars habitats (outside
of mostly robotics) because 99% of everything needed for humans has to
come from Earth to begin with, therefore why not utilize at least the
relatively failsafe interior of our moon(Selene) that’s easy to get to/
from, that otherwise offers such an abundance of nifty and valuable
surface elements, as well as likely accessible voids and/or low
density (only slightly compacted) material inside of its tough
lithosphere to deal with, including brines that should have been
trapped within/under that robust fused basalt crust (no good reason to
perceive that hollow geode pockets don’t exist). Otherwise, besides
all those valuable minerals and 3He, we should ponder as to how much
of our moon(Selene) offers carbonado, or could be easily utilized for
manufacturing carbonado.

Here’s a somewhat less-saturated color/hue version (lots more of the
same posted on the internet), and as anyone can plainly see there’s
nothing false colored about it, because those surface minerals are in
fact the only photon source of each and every color pixel that’ll only
get more intense the closer that camera gets.

Besides the lithobraking encounter, there’s also the Roche Limit to

Each near miss within the Roche Limit by that process of capturing an
icy Selene of perhaps 8e22 kg, would most likely have broken and
pulled large portions of that thick ice away from its surface, and
thereby making its capture easier as mass and thereby energy is
extracted from the Selene encounter. Of course this encounter and
subsequent capture would have transferred teratonnes of that ice to
Earth.

On second thought, I'll just become Jewish and buy Debeers for less
than ten cents on the dollar after their global market value drops by
90%.

have another ice age, not to mention those added TeraWatts worth of
our mostly sooty energy plus artificially vaporized and natural water

emissions, plus various natural and artificial ventings of raw/toxic

Obviously aerodynamic drag (much greater before we had that moon), as
well as lacking important factors of the lithobraking, loss/transfer
of its icy mass and other tidal forces of the sun are not involved
within this simulation, but none the less it’s a good enough example
of how a capture might actually be easily accomplished.

Think of our moon(Selene) as a spent icy comet, whereas 6.5e21 < 1e22
kg of ice from Selene is not any small volume to pick from, even if
only 10% of it stuck with us is representing a substantial addition of
water to our terrestrial environment.

Important factors of aerodynamic drag(aerobraking) should have been
much greater and further reaching before we had that moon, as well as
we’re lacking a few other important considerations of those primary
and secondary lithobraking impact(s), encounter induced trajectory
shift, loss/transfer of icy mass and those other pesky tidal forces of
the sun and possibly Venus are not involved within this basic
simulation, but none the less it’s a good enough example of how a
capture might actually be easily accomplished when the approach angle
and velocity are just right.

Launch force: 6.15

Launch angle: -129

Launch angle: -66.666

Besides those complex lithobraking encounter issues, there’s also the
Roche Limit to consider:
“In 1848, Astronomer Edouard Roche noted that, if a satellite was
held together mainly by its own gravitational attraction, there would
be a minimum distance from the primary inside which the tidal forces
of the primary would exceed the satellite’s binding forces and would

The Roche Limit for two bodies is approximated by a function of their
densities:
Earth 18,470 km
Jupiter 175,000
Saturn 147,000
Uranus 62,000

Each near miss that's within this Roche Limit and of course by way of
that initial lithobraking process of capturing an icy Selene of
perhaps 8e22 kg(<8.35e22 kg), would most likely have fractured and
pulled large portions of that thick ice away from its surface, and
thereby making its capture process easier as its mass and thereby
energy is extracted from the encounter. Of course this tremendous
encounter and subsequent capture would have transferred teratonnes of
that ice to Earth, and perhaps otherwise that fully fused basalt
lithosphere of Selene should have remained in tact.
