SPS and Power Lines from the Moon
Submitted for your amusement.
My voice alone was insufficient to get them to change the FAQ. This is from a leading renewable energy advocacy group's FAQ Try and picture what this would look like http://solstice.crest.org/solar/sola...solaronthemoon Selected Quotes: Why don't we build a solar plant on the moon and beam the energy back to Earth? . . In addition, with the rotation of the moon and the earth as they are, the transmission cables would quickly become terribly tangled. .. . . Furthermore since most industrialized countries experience power losses of about 10% between the generating plant and the customer, which is only at most in the hundreds of kilometers, there is no way the energy would be still coursing through the transmission cables after the 384,400 kilometers it would have to travel from the moon to the earth.

If you write to correct them you're a pal of TransOrbital. http://democrats.com/view.cfm?id=9443 Summary: TransOrbital's mission to the moon will destabilze the moon's orbit and cause havoc on Earth. Bush and his evil minions have sold the moon to his crony supporters. Some guy writes in to rebut these outlandish claims, and the editor, responds with the "bull**** baffles brains" strategem. Sad to think that this kind of "intelligence" is what fires up the masses on both sides of the political spectrum. TangoMan Here are the three pertinent articles. The Democrats.com site isn't thoroughly indexed, so to verify their presence on the Democrats.com site you'll have to pull keyowrds from these articles and input them into the search field. I thought I'd just save you the trouble by adding the following addendum. While Nation Looks the Other Way on 9/11 Anniversary, Bush Gives Moon to Private Corporation for 'Industrial Development' Like all the other international laws, Bush is now ignoring those pertaining to space. As America is distracted by 9/11 remembrances and warnings of new threats, His Heinous has turned the moon over to a private, for-profit corporation called TransOrbital that has a far- reaching, frigthening agenda for the corporate domination of space. All TransOrbital had to do was promise not to contaminate and pollute the moon - yeah, right. That's what the oil companies say about ANWR. There was no Congressional vote - not even any consultation. Bush simply acted as if the moon were his to give away. The TransOrbital venture could be disastrous for the globe - no scientist today could predict yet how adding mass to the moon via human infrastructure or removing mass, via mining, will impact the delicate gravitational interplay between Earth and its only satellite. The moon belongs to all the people of the Earth - not to George. W. Bush or his friends at TransOrbital. TransOrbital Just Like Bush - Long on Grandiosity and Corporate Schemes, Short on Real Science The company that Bush turned the moon over to as its personal corporate playground is a chip off the old Blockhead. Check out this home page: http://www.transorbital.net/index.html - notice the ad at the top of the page, where the company brags that it will make it possible to display commercial messages on the surface of the moon. Now check this site out for the Artemis Society - the group that is behind TransOrbital. It reminds us of those rghtwing front sites that lead to multiple front sites and nothing is what it seems. You'll notice that their web host calls itself the "Illuminati" and is based in Texas. How Bush/Rumsfeld/Cheney can you get!? Here's another one of their "subsites": Project Leto, a moon tourism outfit based in Las Vegas to attract the glitzy crowd. U.S. Military Control of Space from the Moon: The Real Plan behind TransOrbital's Permission to 'Develop' the Moon? Everyone by now knows with painful clarity that the Bush administration does not do a single thing without having something in it for them, and usually something big and juicy. Now put two and two together: Bush gives a wacko commercial company with a scheme called the Artemis Project the green light to be the first to commandeer the moon, commercially - that means patents and legal privilege of a sweeping and unprecedented nature. Now add to that the USS Space Command's long range plan - military control of space. It doesn't take more than two neurons to figure out that once the Artemis Project gets its foot in the lunar door, the "state- sponsored" construction of a military space base will follow. |

Not to mention the noise the takeup reel would make as cable was paid out and reeled in due to the constantly changing Earth-Moon distance. ;-) Was this FAQ posted in April? Chris W. |
