Question is; how much will China charge per kg, per round trip to/
from our moon(Selene)?

One million dollars per kg may not be sufficient for anything but a
one-way ticket, but if it's the only available ticket then perhaps
that price/kg can be literally as high as the sky.

From: Brad Guth on
Tidal energy should be interpreted as essentially extreme long-wave IR
that doesn’t reflect but morphs the lithosphere <55 cm at <16 m/s, and
via secondary convection up-welling that obviously does eventually
manage to get rid of such thermal energy is what heats our surface
environment.

Ideally, if the nighttime cloud cover doesn’t increase we’re better
off. However, nature plus we humans have extensively increased the
amounts of atmospheric water saturation, as well as our having made it
sooty and acidic enough to etch class. This kind of artificial global
dimming and increased nighttime cloud cover is not exactly helping to
keep us cool or much less weather stabilized.

Earth is surface radiating its core energy at roughly 64 TW, while
holding onto that moon has been contributing 2e20 N.m/sec 55,555 TW
(some of which [let us say at the very least 0.1%] becomes geothermal
thermal energy). In other words, without our moon (-56 TW), the core
radiated heat of Earth might become worth as little as 8 TW.

1 btu = approximate amount of energy needed to heat .4527 kg of
water by one degree Fahrenheit, and most often that’s also given as or
interpreted as to represent the volume of h2o per hour.
1 btu = 1055.06 joules
1 kw.h = 3412 BTU
1 kw.h = 3.6e6 joules
8.34 pounds = one gallon of pure h2o
8.356 btu/gal/1°F rise/hr (based on 1g/cm3 density)
8.356 btu/3.783 kg = 2.209 btu/kg (based on 1g/cm3 density)
2.209 btu = 2.3306e3 J
2.209 btu/kg/1°F rise/hr (based on 1g/cm3 density)
Earth mass = 5.974e24 kg
5.974e24 * 2.209 = 13.1966e24 btu to get Earth warned up by 1°F

However the average density of Earth is roughly 5.5 times greater than
water.

13.1966e24 * 5.5 = 7.26e25 btu in order to sustain the whole body of
Earth warmed up by an extra 1°F

7.26e25 btu = 7.66e28 J

If 100% of the 2e20 N of tidal binding force were converted into
thermal energy:
7.66e28/2e20 = 3.83e8 seconds
3.83e8/3.1536e7 = 12.145 years per 1°F rise.

It’s clear that any large and/or massive enough asteroid in a
sufficiently nearby orbit of a given planet can make that planet a
little hotter from the inside out. By any conceivable interpretation,
our moon(Selene) of 7.35e22 kg that may have started out as an icy
8.35e22 kg in a closer orbit upon physically encountering us, more
than qualifies. There’s even an extensive NASA infomercial production
of nifty eyecandy as to how such an asteroid/moon heated up the planet
Mars.

I personally could doubt that more than 10% of this GW trend via tidal
interaction is the case, making that timeline of global warming via
tidal binding forces more like 121.45 years per 1°F rise, and of
course Earth always radiates at least 90% of that energy influx which
makes it 1214.5 years per 1°F rise, although where the other energy is
going I haven’t the slightest idea, unless it’s sustaining some kind
of electrostatic charge differential.

Of course the moon itself isn’t a solid inert rock, and therefore some
kind of geothermal considerations with considerably less activity than
Earth has to coexist under that unusually thick and mineral saturated
lunar crust. So, as I research and manage to learn more, I’ll have to
rethink in order to update/revise this interpretation. I doubt others
with better physics and science expertise that are mostly public
funded will bother to help investigate, because supposedly Earth has
nearly always had that physically dark and crystal dry moon of ours.

Relocating our captured moon/Selene out to Earth L1 isn’t going to
eliminate ocean tides, although it’s going reduce those tides by at
least 50% plus cut the lunar induced seismic considerations by at

Lunar tidal energy should be interpreted as essentially extreme long-
wave IR that doesn’t reflect but morphs or modulates throughout the
lithosphere <55 cm at <16 m/s, and via secondary convection up-welling

our sun and its illuminating form of heat, and especially if without a

From: Brad Guth on
Besides our moon being porous or semi-hollow under that thick crust,
we also need to understand what it's doing to us.

How warm does our moon(Selene) keep us?
One degree F/decade?
One degree F/century?
One degree F/millennium?
One degree F/ten millennium?

How much warmer can we allow Eden/Earth to get?
How much increase in nighttime cloud-cover can we live with?
How much human warming and polluting assistance can Earth stand?
How much more of Earth’s hydrogen and helium can we afford to lose?

Our lithosphere gets continually morphed along by a substantial
composite of gravity tidal waves <.55 meter at the equator that
migrates and/or reverberates throughout as causing an Earth warping/
undulating surface bulging/sinking kind of ride that’s roughly 2/3
moon and 1/3 solar, that’s also fast moving and can’t but help trigger
tectonic quakes via modulating our broken lithospheric plates that
otherwise merely slip and slide into and under one another relatively
harmlessly. In other words, the morphing/distorting or modulation of
our lithosphere and mantel is perhaps more responsible for causing
ocean tides than is gravity itself pulling upon water, and it’s
certainly the most likely earthquake trigger, especially whenever
there’s 3+ body alignments taking place.

Moon orbits us at 1022 m/s = 16.957 m/s at the surface equator of
Earth, but of course that’s only if Earth wasn’t itself rotating at
465 m/s. (465 –17 = 448 m/s is actually one heck of a nifty form of
lithosphere modulation or tidal velocity as a continuous geophysical
morphing shock-wave, of subsequent seismic and geothermal dynamics to
always deal with)

I wonder what the all-inclusive cost in hundreds of billions or
perhaps trillions per year that such damage and losses to us humans,
our infrastructures and the environmental trauma via earthquakes
involve.

Looks as though March 14~15th, 29~30th, April 13~14th and similar
future alignment dates are worth paying closer attention to.
http://jove.geol.niu.edu/faculty/stoddard/JAVA/moonphase.html

Relocating our captured moon(Selene) out to Earth L1 isn’t going to
happen overnight (more like taking a century) nor will this eliminate
ocean tides, although it’s going reduce those tides by at least 50%
plus cut those pesky lunar induced seismic trigger considerations by
at least 8:1, as well as giving us roughly 3% of badly needed shade to
work with. In my book of constructively doing stuff which directly
benefits the greater good, that’s called a win-win-win.

Perhaps our lunar tidal energy should be reinterpreted as essentially
extreme long-wave IR that doesn’t reflect but penetrates and morphs or
modulates throughout the crust and mantel, distorting our relatively
thin lithosphere <55 cm at <448 m/s, and then via secondary convection
up-welling that obviously does eventually manage to get rid of such
geothermal energy, is exactly what contributes the bulk of heat and
pollution to our surface and atmospheric environment. If it was just
up to the much weaker tidal influence of Earth’s rotation and that of
our sun with its illuminating form of heat, and especially if this
were accepted without a seasonal tilt and having less global nighttime
cloudiness, we’d be extensively iced-up nearly to the tropics of
Cancer and Capricorn.

Ideally, if the global warming nighttime cloud cover doesn’t increase
we’re better off having a moon that continually modulates the entire
body of this thin-crusted planet. However, the nature of this
evolving planet plus we humans as having extensively increased the
amounts of atmospheric water saturation, as well as our having made it
sooty and acidic enough to etch class, whereas this kind of artificial
global dimming and increased nighttime cloud cover is not exactly
helping to keep us cool or much less weather stabilized, whereas slow
glacial ice and compacted snow stores hot and cold energy as well as
the bulk of fresh water in a very controlled method that’ll be hard to
replace or do without.

Earth has been surface radiating its core energy at roughly 64 TW,
while holding onto that moon has been contributing 2e20 N.m/sec 55,555
TW (some of which [let us say at the very least 0.1%] becomes
geothermal thermal energy). In other words, without our moon (-56
TW), the core radiated heat of Earth w/o moon might become worth as
little as 8 TW which shouldn’t hardly thaw any ice.

1 btu = approximate amount of energy needed to heat 0.4527 kg of
water by one degree Fahrenheit, and most often that’s also given or
interpreted as to represent that volume of h2o that’s heated by one
degree per hour, mostly because that’s how we apply and measure our
energy usage, and otherwise the energy as a measure of Joules is
always per second unless specified otherwise.

1 btu = 1055.06 joules
1 kw.h = 3412 BTU.h
1 kw.h = 3.6e6 joules
8.34 pounds = one gallon of pure h2o
8.356 btu/gal/1°F rise/hr (based on 1g/cm3 density)
8.356 btu/3.783 kg = 2.209 btu/kg (based on 1g/cm3 density)
2.209 btu = 2.3306e3 J
2.209 btu/kg/1°F rise/hr (based on 1g/cm3 density)
Earth mass = 5.974e24 kg
5.974e24 * 2.209 = 13.1966e24 btu to get Earth warned up by 1°F

However, the average density of Earth is roughly 5.5 times greater
than water.

13.1966e24 * 5.5 = 7.26e25 btu in order to sustain the whole body of
Earth as getting warmed up by an extra 1°F

7.26e25 btu * 1.055e3 = 7.66e28 J

If 100% of the 2e20 N of tidal binding force were converted into
thermal energy:
7.66e28/2e20 = 3.83e8 seconds
3.83e8/3.1536e7 = 12.145 years per 1°F rise.

It’s perfectly clear that any large and/or massive enough asteroid in
a sufficiently nearby orbit of a given planet can make that planet a
little hotter from the inside out. By any conceivable interpretation,
our moon(Selene) of 7.35e22 kg that may have started out as an icy
8.35e22 kg in a much closer orbit and even upon physically
encountering us, more than qualifies. There’s even an extensive NASA
infomercial production as public funded and televised on PBS as well
as available on DVD, of nifty animation eyecandy as to how such an
asteroid/moon activated a dormant magnetic field and otherwise heated
up the planet Mars.

I personally could doubt that more than 10% of this GW trend via tidal
interaction is the case, although it could easily be worth as great as
90%, making that timeline of global warming via tidal binding forces
more like 121.45 years per 1°F rise, and of course Earth always
radiates at least 90% of energy influx which then makes it worth
1214.5 years per 1°F rise, although as to where the other energy is
going I haven’t the slightest idea (similar to our LHC having lost
track of 98% of their proton quark/higgs mass or strange dark-matter),
unless it’s sustaining some kind of electrostatic charge differential,
but then what planet couldn’t use a few trillion naked/rogue Higgs and
magnetic holes to go along with its LHC gamma.

Of course the moon itself isn’t a ball of solid/fused inert rock, and
therefore some kind of geothermal considerations with considerably
less geodynamic activity than Earth has to coexist under that
unusually thick and mineral saturated lunar crust. So, as I research
and manage to learn more, I’ll have to continually rethink in order to
update/revise this ongoing interpretation, because I doubt others with
better physics and science expertise that are mostly public funded
will bother to help investigate, perhaps because supposedly Earth has
nearly always had that physically dark and crystal dry moon of ours
that we still can’t set up any camp/habitat upon or within, nor can we
even utilize its zero delta-V L1.

There’s also the near zero delta-V of Cruithne that’s never too far
away, at 1.3e14 kg (about right for a spent carbonado comet core) as a
somewhat second captured moon of ours (discovered long after our
Apollo missions), as also held by a fairly complex set of Newtonian
gravity constraints that’s a little odd but none the less stable.
Most likely this once icy Cruithne also bounced off something like
Earth (perhaps 65 million years ago), and thereby having lost/
transferred all of its icy payload in order to stick with us. Its
original comet payload of ice could have been worth <2.7e14 kg,
although its initial icy mass and date of encountering us is currently
unknown unless you’d care to reconsider that Yucatan impact site.

The physical elements or unusual attributes of Cruithne should prove
extremely interesting, but even though well enough within existing
resolution of present day astronomy, especially whenever it’s nearby
and otherwise easily viewed in detail by a probe fly-by, though
unfortunately it’s still being kept pretty much taboo/nondisclosure
rated by those in charge of mainstream damage-control of moons not
being captured.

The co-orbital Cruithne-3753 (our binary moon or planetesimal/
asteroid) eventually gets within 38 lunar distance, thus it would
become similar to seeing a 130 meter resolution of our lunar surface
is what’s needed in order to deal with directly imaging this little
target from Earth, and KECK with its 395 meter FL and f40 secondary
mirror could accomplish this.

Your purely subjective interpretation is noted.

Then perhaps it's the only orb in the universe that's fused and
compressed solid.

Its relatively low density interior and seismic ringing suggest that
it's anything but solid.

Its offset core gives further room for something less than
representing a pure solid.

Are you also suggesting our moon(Selene) is without pockets of gas or
fluids?
