From: BradGuth on
Might as well shade Earth a little with our moon, and otherwise
minimize our seismic trauma as well as directly benefit and profit
from whatever that physically dark and mineral saturated surface has
to offer. Off-world habitat wise, it just a matter of applied
technology in order to take full advantage of whatever’s within or
under that thick basalt lithosphere.

As long as we can’t afford to establish those Mars habitats (outside
of mostly robotics) because 99% of everything needed for sustaining us
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 technology and ourselves to/from, that otherwise offers
such an abundance of nifty and valuable cache of surface elements, as
well as likely accessible voids and/or low density (only slightly
compacted) material inside of its tough lithosphere, 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 the bulk manufacturing of carbonado.

Would you like to see those surface exposed minerals, as merely
natural hue saturation enhanced in living color? (isn’t UV secondary/
recoil fluorescence unavoidably nifty)
http://www.coronaborealis.org/images/full_moon_color.html
http://blog.deepskycolors.com/archive/2008/10/12/moon-in-full-color.html

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 and/or darker the closer that camera gets.

Many color images of our moon(Selene) exist (including those from our
NASA), depicting its physically dark and complex mineralogy.
http://www.nasa.gov/images/content/175836main_image_feature_819_ys_full.jpg

Apparently our NASA still doesn’t know that our naked and physically
dark moon is unavoidably saturated in solar UV that subsequently gives
off its wealth of secondary/recoil mineral colors (it’s called
intrinsic fluorescence).

Mineral colors (long-wave/short-wave UV), as perceived by what the
camera and human eye detects as secondary/recoil photons, and please
try to understand that our naked moon receives a great deal of solar
UV that’s only slightly filtered by the surrounding sodium laced
atmosphere that reaches out 9r and otherwise offers a comet like tail
of 900,000 km.

Apparently our spendy LRO mission is still astrogeology/mineralogy
color blind.

As long as we hold onto our moon(Selene) with its average 2e20 N worth
of tidal binding force (each and every second by second = 2e20 Joules)
plus its reflected and secondary IR of <1230 w/m2, we simply 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 emissions, plus various natural and artificial ventings of
raw/toxic methane contributions that are not exactly helping our
biodiversity or cooling us off. Thanks mostly to the solar wind, we
are also losing our precious radioactive decay element of helium plus
always hydrogen by 100<1000 tonnes/sec (w/o solar wind that global
loss might average >10 tonnes/sec, and without artificial
contributions it might even conceivably drop >1 t/sec at minimal solar
wind). In other words, we seem to be making this global warming trend
a whole lot worse and way more community toxic than mother nature
could ever hope to achieve.

The good news, is that essentially we’ll run ourselves out of many
natural reservoirs and those buried kinds of raw and often toxic
elements, so that whatever biodiversity remains can eventually
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 our artificial global
dimming that absorbs more solar energy, what could possibly go wrong
with the good life w/o glacial slow-ice on our planet Eden/Earth?

How to capture a moon:
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 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 or an icy rogue
planetoid, 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.

http://isthis4real.com/orbit.xml
Launch angle: -128
Launch force: 6.15

Launch angle: -129
Launch force: 6.0

Launch angle: -56.94
Launch force: 7.4

Launch angle: -66.666
Launch force: 9.69

As you any most any dysfunctional 5th grader can see, a number of
encounter angles and velocity options seem to apply, whereas besides
those exclusions of complex lithobraking and aerobraking encounter
issues plus ice evaporation via solar energy, 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 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 basalt 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 unavoidably caused
terrestrial seismic and tidal havoc as well as having transferred
teratonnes of that ice to Earth, and perhaps otherwise that fully
fused and thick basalt lithosphere of Selene should have extensively
remained in tact, morphing perhaps only into offering the relatively
shallow south polar crater that resulted from encountering Eden/Earth
at roughly where our arctic basin exist.

Our moon(Selene) is not a solid rock or voidless compression of
minerals, and it's not nearly as inert and monochrome light gray (~67%
albedo) as so often suggested and recorded as unfiltered on Kodak
film.

From: BradGuth on
Our moon(Selene) is not a solid rock, nor is it a voidless composite
of only slight gravity compression, and it's most certainly not nearly
as inert and monochrome light gray (~67% albedo as so often suggested
and officially recorded as unfiltered on Kodak film), makes some of us
wonder which unusually off-white moon our Apollo right stuff landed
upon, where even the basalt bedrock was every bit as monochrome light
gray as a certain guano island had to offer, that was an extremely
private/secluded island nation of mostly guano that needed a free
ticket to becoming a UN member in good standing.

Our 0.1<1% hollow moon, and near infinite vacuum of Selene L1 / Brad
Guth
From: Brad Guth on
Our moon(Selene) is simply not a solid rock or voidless compression of
inert minerals, and it's certainly not nearly as inert and monochrome
ligh-gray (~67% albedo) as so often suggested and having been recorded
as unfiltered on Kodak film that was somehow immune to thermal and
radiation extremes.

The ongoing lack and/or obfuscation of lunar science is another
indication of how little our own government really cares. If we cut
off their funding, then perhaps we too could care less.
