Default How cool is VL2

"Bill Snyder" wrote in message


So when you posted all those messages to a thread that you titled "Our
moon is hot, Venus is not," you really meant the L2 point? When you
said, "Venus has certainly been a little different and perhaps a whole
lot more planetology rare on behalf of having accommodated intelligent
other life than Earth," you meant space-based life? When you said,
"You folks do realize that a fully manned rigid airship that's
cruising efficiently just below those cool nighttime clouds could
actually require some auxiliary cabin heat." -- that Zep would be
cruising through clouds at the L2 point?

Liar, lunatic, and retard.


Not exactly Sir "Liar, lunatic, and retard"

However, try to remember that VL2 (1.0143e6 km 1.0142e6 km) isn't all
that far away from Venus. I'm thinking at least 85% isolation, and a
bit more isolation if we're taking that 100+ km elevated deck of thick
clouds into account.

However once again; If you're situated upon the toasty deck and you
have essentially unlimited renewable energy to burn (sort of speak), as
such where's all the big insurmountable problems with having more than
your fair share of mostly geothermal dry heat to deal with?

Is having too much energy a problem for your naysay mindset?
