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. - Brad Guth -- Posted via Mailgate.ORG Server - http://www.Mailgate.ORG |

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 ??? http://cosmic.lifeform.org/ 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. - Brad Guth -- Posted via Mailgate.ORG Server - http://www.Mailgate.ORG |
