Default Relocate ISS to ME-L1

Actually, moving ISS into the Venus-L2(VL2) halo zone of supposedly
1,014,290 km away from that geothermally active and thus somewhat newish
orb is by far the best for all things considered.

Venus L2 for the likes of ISS can be fully staffed because, as such it
should become perfectly humanly survivable for a 19 month stint.

Upon average, I believe it could be cooler for ISS than currently
orbiting Earth, and there'd be less cosmic and obviously no moon
radiation factors, and even somewhat less solar contributed flak of
radiation to deal with.

I don't believe there's even any significant amount of trapped radiation
belts to deal with.

As compared to orbiting Earth, I don't believe there wouldn't be 10% the
station-keeping demands per month upon reboost or other reactive
thrusting demands for sustaining the orbital halo requirements.

One good resupply of fuel per 19 months should be sufficient, along with
a few less tonnage deployments of supplies (beer and pizza) getting
delivered up to +/- 6 months worth of each 19 month cycle.

Actually, a solar--steam powered form of reaction thrusting via all
that beer should be sufficient all by itself.

Default Relocate ISS to ME-L1

Here's yet another perfectly good reason to relocate our existing ISS
into the relatively safe halo sweet spot of VL2, as providing a final
pitstop before depositing those deserving souls onto that toasty surface
of Venus.

Lo and behold, I have devised yet another good use for the likes of
Venus as is: (no terraforming required)

As I've informed our Usenet resident anti-global-warming avenger "Roger
Coppock", that I'd go so far as to agree that humanity is worth as much
as 25% of our global warming fiasco, but that's about it. No matters
what, Earth is going to get itself hotter, without or w/o any help from
humanity. Therefore, we've got next to nothing to lose by going all out
towards getting folks (as many as possible) onto other planets or moons.

Here's a fully "science friendly" solution that's technically doable and
way past due. OOPS! I forgot that your all or nothing mindset of
naysayism is still in the usual fail-safe mode of denial, as to
banishing the mere thought of our moon having any impact whatsoever upon
our environment. After all, isn't it so much simpler to exclude the
evidence afforded by hard-science, and to otherwise avoid having to use
those pesky regular laws of physics?

What we badly need is a good or even not so good other planet or moon,
intended for sequestering those individuals that simply refuse to accept
the mainstream status quo of infomercial science and of infomercial
history. Of course, I'm being silly, as it should be the other way
around, or didn't you folks realize that part?

Got that "Prison Planet" ??? why the hell not Ceres ???

Thomas Lee Elifritz,
Other than the prospects of getting a little crowded, perhaps "Ceres -
The Fifth Planet From A Star Called The Sun" can become our "Prison
Planet" should be looked into.

However, perhaps otherwise our extremely nearby and not so very old
Venus could also be utilized as is, such as in place of sending folks
that have failed to assimilate into the mainstream status quo to hell.

This nearby alternative would be a darn good thing for "A government
that repeatedly makes bad decisions, resulting in worsening conditions
for the country it runs."

Better yet for a "A government run by an intellectually challenged
leader."

Best of all for "A nation comprised of intellectually challenged
citizens."

But what otherwise to do if we're having to continually deal with all
the rest of those village idiots that are merely dumbfounded past the
point of no return?

Too bad we still can't even get ourselves close enough to our very own
moon without frying our frail DNA, much less walking on that physically
dark and otherwise downright nasty surface. However, the viable notion
of going underground should be entirely possible, as offering us a
terrific 'Prison Moon' alternative that we can obviously keep a close
eye on those *******s we've sent there for their own damn good.
