Our moon is hot, Venus is not
Our moon as a viable space station or as accommodating any such outpost
as having been suggested by the http://www.ARC-space.org (Alliance to Rescue Civilization) rusemasters, as being their NASA approved formula of our salvation on behalf of accommodating humanity and other life as we know it, unfortunately sucks real bad. For starters it's of a physically dark place, extremely dusty as all get-out (to the tune of at least tens of fluffy meters deep), and it's all remaining as rather highly electrostatic, getting everything in sight double IR roasted by day and otherwise extremely sub-frozen by night, whereas it's also rather easily pulverised and thoroughly allowing everything in sight plus of whatever's just below that cosmic morgue of a nasty surface as getting unavoidably secondary/recoil TBI to death, along with the moon itself being a tad bit locally radioactive to boot. Thus being deep underground might not even represent a safe bet. The moon surface environment is most certainly worse off for the likes of human DNA than whatever our Van Allen badlands have to contribute. PARTICLES AND FIELDS IN THE MAGNETOSPHERE http://www.pubmedcentral.gov/article...i?artid=223814 "The lower limit of Van Allen belts that goes down to 200 km of altitude" has been getting downright testy, as in representing a larger SAA zone and lo and behold, it's only getting worse off by the year. Effects of Device Packaging and PC Board Materials on Radiation Dose in the Die http://klabs.org/mapld04/abstracts/long_a.pdf GSO / "Outside the Spacecraft 1,240,000 Krad/year" (I believe that's as having been based upon a relatively passive/inactive solar year, whereas a bad solar year might be ten fold wore yet). The outer Van Allen radiation belt extends from an altitude of about 10,000 to 70,000 km (as well as solar wind distorted and via gravity extends itself a bit more so towards our moon), having some of its greatest radiation intensity situated between 15,000 and 25,000 km. GSO at 36,000 km is supposedly just outside of that maximum dosage zone (except whenever it's within a sun--Earth--moon alignment), although a previous Raytheon/TRW Space Data Report as having nailed that GSO environment dosage while shielded by 2 g/cm2 was still worthy of their systems having to survive 2e3 Sv/yr, or 548 rads/day and thereby of nearly 23 rads/hr while being physically shielded by 5/16" of 5086 aluminum, and I believe that average was based upon a somewhat typically active solar year, which I do believe can get worse off by as much as another 10 fold from solar spikes in lethal energy that have recently gone well off scale, having terminated a few of those less rad-hard satellites in the process, with most other satellites sustaining some measurable degrade in their capability. Gamma-Ray Moon http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap060527.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compton...ay_Observatory Cruising at merely 450 km isn't by any means clear of having to look through the worse local radiation dosage there is within each of those Van Allen belts, as having to incorporate whatever the inner plus outer Van Allen belts have to offer. Therefore the EGRET gamma-ray detector onboard the Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory(CGRO) as having obtained it's image of our gamma moon was also having to record that composite image as taking that exposure while looking through some of the worse of lethal zones of what our magnetosphere has to offer, whereas the moon simply records as being considerably more gamma worthy than the surrounding space as having been given those reddish pixels that's indicating the much weaker dosage, that which unavoidably involves the bulk of whatever our inner plus outer Van Allen belts have to offer. There's good reason for ISS keeping itself below the 400 km mark, as well as their having to avoid the SAA at all cost, which is primarily having to do with their avoiding the much less intensive inner Van Allen belt that's still not such a DNA friendly realm, and unfortunately that inner belt has been dropping like a rock as of the last century, along with a reported 0.05%/yr reduction in our magnetic flux. If I could blame that one on GW Bush you know I would, but in this case being such an SOB of a LLPOF warlord isn't at fault, it's just mother Earth doing her thing of aging and eventually getting us all radiated to death because our DNA simply is not by itself evolving as Darwin had hoped. What's needed is a good dosage of applied intelligent design that'll make our DNA sufficiently rad-hard, or else we'll eventually need to get ourselves off this dooms day rock, especially if life manages to survive long enough to when our solar system is orbiting close to our extra bright and rad-hot Sirius star/solar system. There are hard-scientific numbers associated with each and every pixel of that gamma image. That official gamma spectrum of image which so happens to include our physically dark moon as seen from within our protective and thus radiation moderating/attenuating magnetosphere, as looking so alive in gamma radiation isn't any more so a mistake than are those radar illuminated images of Venus as having depicted what's looking so intelligent and rational about a few rather significant features, so it's perfectly OK if you don't believe me, as you folks can go fish for yourself. http://www.aas.org/publications/baas...s/S025002.html "The energy spectrum of the lunar gamma radiation are consistent with a model of gamma ray production by cosmic ray interactions with the lunar surface, and the flux varies as expected with the solar cycle. Thus, in high-energy gamma rays, the Moon is brighter than the quiet Sun." Those key words of "Moon is brighter than the quiet Sun" means the surface environment of our physically dark moon is in fact capable of being far worse off in gamma dosage than walking on our sun. Basically, there's considerably greater mass per cm3 or per m3 that's available to interact with, as in more so than whatever those Van Allen belts can possibly represent. Instead of our moon producing various harmless secondary/recoil dosage of even the likes of soft-X-rays, as being the case of what the relative micro density of those Van Allen belts represent, it's instead generating gamma and unavoidably the secondary/recoil worth of hard-X-rays that get produced by way of the fundamental interaction of cosmic and solar energy as such unavoidably reacts with the rather considerable and obviously naked density of the lunar surface, that's basically a composite of sufficiently heavy elements that represents itself as the cosmic and solar anti-cathode motherload of producing lethal radiation. At minimums, and especially by day, we're looking at several hundred rads per hour (with unavoidable peaks of thousands of rads per hour), that which any damn fool of human DNA that's taking a moonsuit walk upon that nasty surface will have to deal with such consequences, and/or soon thereafter must die rather horrifically from the inside out. http://www.inconstantmoon.com/lim_9908.htm "It's cosmic radiation, which is stopped by the Earth's magnetic field, falls directly onto the lunar surface. This causes atomic decay which releases the gamma rays." But then folks, if gamma isn't quite bad enough, we also have those various X-rays of the raw solar illuminated moon to deal with. http://www.airynothing.com/high_ener...rces/moon.html Of course the X-ray albedo of our moon is relatively ****-poor (an albedo of perhaps not 0.01 or less than 1%), thus for actually being there in person is simply a whole lot worse off by a good 100+ fold worse your frail human DNA than having been indicated by what little of such X-rays are reflected by that portion of our physically dark moon as getting raw solar illuminated. Too bad we still don't have so much as a science platform within that nifty LL-1 zone, that which could have been interactively feeding us live science data from before those hocus-pocus Apollo missions, and at not half the cost of just one such mission, thus roughly 5% the cost of the cost and we'd know honest stuff about our moon, several astronauts would still be alive, plus having obtained even better Earth science to boot. Basically there's nothing all that end-user friendly about our moon, that is unless you're a sufficiently tough rad-hard sort of robot. Being at LL-1 (60,000 km away from that moon) is certainly a whole lot better off, but isn't actually a long-term safe enough distance unless surrounded by an artificial magnetosphere or 50t/m2 of what the CM/ISS shell should represent. The surface of Venus, especially of the nighttime season, although somewhat cooler and especially cooler by way of elevation, that environment should by rights remain every bit as geothermally active and thereby sustaining that unavoidably hot surface environment in the spectrum of IR, however the Sv(1e2 rads) or (1e2 rems) of lethal radiation dosage from whatever's cosmic and even via solar is actually of a less dosage than it is for us on Earth, making Venus our best and nearest rad-hard planet that so happens to have unlimited renewable energy to burn, that will not actually so easily burn much of anything because of the rather low amounts of free O2. BTW; atmospheric pressure is biologically a none-issue unless you're a certified village idiot, whereas a given change of 4+bar/km could be humanly insurmountable without involving some applied intelligent design, as improvements to our bodies that would need to adjust to such changes, so much so that walking to/from a second floor might not agree with many of us, though local Venusians as having evolved and/or intelligently adapted, or of obviously robotics shouldn't much care. - Brad Guth -- Posted via Mailgate.ORG Server - http://www.Mailgate.ORG |

Jordan, You folks really must really like infomercial-science, as it makes you feel all warm and fuzzy, doesn't it.

Ever heard of anticathode secondary/recoil radiation? Have you an honest independent and thus replicated clue as to exactly how Sv/rad-hot our naked moon is? Fortunately Mars is not nearly a naked as our moon, but it's also further way from being solar shielded, and thus it's getting a bit more than it's fair share of cosmic dosage that's also rather gamma horrific. Do you know what gamma does whenever interacting rather badly with all of that nearby and unavoidably surrounding matter of what that Mars surface represents? Ou moon is considerably more naked than Mars, and it's rather nicely solar illuminated with receiving all sorts of such nasty raw energy that the surface of Earth never obtains. Is there some hocus-pocus law of physics reason or skewed logic, as to why our moon shouldn't be worse off than our lethal Van Allen belts? Would you folks like to review a nifty PDF file, such as I might share and share alike on behalf of forking over my copy of the now officially banished Constellation-X (AKA con_x_dose1) report: (original though broken link http://conxproject.gsfc.nasa.gov/rad...on_x_dose1.pdf) How about my offering a few shots of Jupiter and that of our fully illuminated though physically dark moon, as being within the same photographic frame?

oups.com Brad, thanks for this.I know only a bit of astrophysics, mostly reading from popular books. I had wondered about the Van Allen belts and thought the moon must be an even impossibly harsher environment, being exposed in the way you describe. -- First off, I'm glad that I could be of some help, and otherwise pleased that you're not picking apart my somewhat dyslexic encrypted syntax, and a few other poorly structured comments. I try to say what I mean and mean what I say, but it doesn't always come out as I'd planned. Thus far, I can't discover why that physically dark moon of our's shouldn't be as rad-hot as having been indicated, as well as being physically radioactively, and thereby worse off than any badlands within those Van Allen Belts. At times it's got to be absolute Sv hell, with all of that unavoidable reactive energy coming at yourself from every imaginable local direction, as derived from at least 3.14e6 m2 worth of nasty/reactive moon terrain, plus your having to deal with whatever's of solar/cosmic influx that's also unavoidably arriving at nearly full force, and at times you can add a little extra of whatever gets deflected by mother Earth's magnetosphere. The notion of my LSE-CM/ISS being 60,000 km away (LL-1), as for eventually offering a 1e9 m3 Space-Depot/habitat that's surrounded by roughly 16 meters of a shield density that's worth 50t/m2, constructed of a mostly basalt composite that should make it safe enough for the long haul of folks spending a lifetime onboard, and of those human expeditions via well shielded elevator pods that'll efficiently trek up/down a given tether for getting folks to/from the relative safety of the cool earthshine illuminated surface environment of that otherwise physically and biologically nasty moon, as such efforts should be short term manageable while surrounded by as little as 3t/m2 (that's roughly a meter thick shell). However, outside of the elevator pod and of a fairly passive/quiet solar period is going to be at best a few hours (possibly one day) worth of moonsuit exposure before having maxed out your career dosage limit (however, if you have established a personal cash of banked bone marrow, and have counted each of your lucky stars, that survivable limit could become worth a number of those earthshine illuminated days, and perhaps as great as 5 Sv, although you might soon thereafter become blind, plus having a few other private parts no longer working). Too bad we still don't have a few of those very basic interactive science instruments as honestly reporting from that deck, or even so much as an energy efficient form of station-keeping science platform within LL-1. I guess we'll have to wait for China to help us out. - Brad Guth -- Posted via Mailgate.ORG Server - http://www.Mailgate.ORG |
