How cool is VL2
The GOOGLE/Usenet takes in, but lo and behold their topic index of
replies doesn't always indicate the likes of this following contribution, so I'll try it once again for the old gipper. Obviously I Ovglove jest, and obviously the co2--co/o2 (same process as working on behalf of the Mars mission fiasco) is where the local needs of whatever O2 is to be found, except in easily available bulk. The last time I'd checked, Venus had a touch more than its fair share of co2 (kept nicely bone dry and process preheated to boot), and otherwise having way more than its fair share of locally renewable energy to burn (sort of speak), so that you don't have to bother packing along a nuclear reactor, and at that local pressure your body doesn't even require all that much O2 (just lots of ice cold beer). Before doing Venus in whatever cozy Ovglove protected person, even though a composite rigid airship/shuttle or whatever 'tomcat' fat- waverider should more than do the trick, whereas Venus L2 is offering us the very next best available ticket to ride, and without such involving any Ovgloves. Venus L2(VL2) is in fact a POOF friendly and thus offering a technically worthy location for an entire collective or community of such inflated habitat items, that can be made quite livable for each of those 19+ month missions, especially if getting shielded by an extra meter or more of beer. Obviously I beer jest, as such required shield density could be accomplished via Gin or Vodka, and subsequently replaced by good old reliable pee. (waste not, want not) Only the systematically perverted mindset of this mostly Old Testament Usenet from naysay hell, that is in any formal disagreement as based entirely upon their own faith-based crapolla, are of what's getting this notion terminated, by way of those intent upon keeping all of those mutually perpetrated cold-war and religious hocus-pocus lids on tight, as for otherwise their having been focused upon topic/author bashings, diverting and/or their total banishing upon all that's Venus. (I think it's mostly a silly Old Testament Jewish thing, along with those crazy Catholics and a few other cults bringing up the rear) Unfortunately, ESA's Venus EXPRESS(VIRTIS) mission is keeping itself every bit as dead as that of whatever our MI/NSA~NASA wants it to be dead. The thermal imaging data from their robust PFS instrument has been kept entirely taboo/nondisclosure rated (aka need to know) from the very get go. The surface of Venus is still giving off the average of 20.5 w/m2 (roughly 256 fold greater core energy loss than Earth), and the lower atmospheric environment of Venus (below them relatively cool acidic clouds) as having in fact been rather nicely insulated at that, as well as for having incorporated that fairly robust S8 layer as being an extra nifty solar isolation benefit, so that damn little of the available solar IR influx ever reaches that geothermally forced surface or even contributing all that much solar energy into that dense lower atmosphere, of what's mostly a thick vapor/dry mixture of S8 and CO2, that's otherwise unavoidably made available and sustained as being toasty hot from whatever just below the geothermal surface on up. Venus is NOT getting solar roasted to death, at least not entirely if hardly so. ESA's sorry as hell "status reports" are all the way down to being robo status quo. It's as though they're down to the science data sharing dregs of a pair of soup cans and some string. ESA's mission demise is too bad because, Venus has otherwise been so nearby (at times merely 100 fold greater distance than our moon), so otherwise planetology alive and kicking, as well as so ET accessible (except for the likes of us village heathen idiots that still can't honestly manage to walk upon our very own nearby moon, and much less dare live to tell about it w/o involving banked bone marrow). BTW; why are those other "The Ghost In The Machine" minions so entirely screwed up? - Brad Guth |
