Wonder what the LM lower stages condition is ??
Just in case you hadn't noticed, you're really putting the cart before the horse. Jeff well since the US will have ZERO deep space missions for well past the forseable future speculating can be fun and costs nothing....... |

Wonder what the LM lower stages condition is ??
You're missing one key point. *The summary of your speculation is something like an unmanned mission to an asteroid "near" Snoopy with a vehicle big enough to return Snoopy to earth. *This is not reality based. *You're moved into the realm of science fiction, which is outside the scope of the sci.space newsgroups. We dont necessarily need a high power booster to power the LM back to earth, its believed to be earth crossing, dock a small booster or even a ion engine to get it back to earth. speed wouldnt matter if returning it to earth orbit takes 5 or even 10 years who cares? plus a slow return would give time to plan how to safely deorbit it..... Safely deorbiting large payloads may have other uses besides returning snoopy....... |

Oh, so now you want to add an engine we don't have to all the other nonexistent or imaginary things you've larded into your 'plan'. Ion engines have already been used for deep space probes, at most it might need to be scaled up, but could be used for other uses |

If the hydrazine fuels leaked it could of caused a explosion. as far as I know orbital photos arent good enough for a definitive condition report...... just wondering what nasa expected to happen? another one would be snoopy which appeared to end up in heliospheric orbit...... or some left over 2nd stages that werent crashed into the moon with the fuels and batteries, and gases i wonder how these leftovers have aged........ wouldnt it be wonderful to retrieve some of these artifacts? According to all things NASA/Apollo, the moon is actually quite reflective, monochromatic and otherwise totally inert. *So, everything should still be in 100% perfect condition. No. according to YOU, that's what NASA/Apollo is saying. *The reality is otherwise but like most conspiracy nuts, your thoughts are not quite rooted in reality. Our NASA/Apollo reality is mostly subjective, because most of their supposedly worthy forensics is missing in action, and oddly can't be replicated by anyone because the fly-by-rocket technology of that era simply isn't trustworthy or sufficiently documented so that others could follow in their footsteps. Holy hell guthball, don't you spout your conspiracy theories enough already? *You need to start taking your lithium. *Unless that is, the government really is out to get you. In other words, you got nothing outside of whatever's NASA/Apollo published, because they were the one and only honest government agency of our mutually perpetrated cold-war era. I bet you also believed each and every word spouted by GW Bush, Dick Cheney and Kissinger. How many other obfuscation protected FUD-masters and liars do you associate yourself with? |

so we build a ion engine wth controls that docks with the LM docking
system and retrieve over whatever time it takes the ion engine and controls that could be refeuled and sent to do another job |

Ion engines have already been used for deep space probes, at most it might need to be scaled up, but could be used for other uses Indeed, much bigger and thus way more powerful ion thrusters shouldn't be entirely problematic, perhaps running on spitting out Radon ions derived from an onboard cache of Radium. Their nuclear power source could also be of a radium and plutonium mix fuel that could yield addition Radon. |

a scaled up ion engine could be used to send all sorts of space probes
on their way, true their overall thrust is low but they can run continiously.... so nasa builds a multi use ion engine stage for all sorts of interesting jobs. |
