1) Some people imply that the space shuttle and its support structure
(like the Manned Orbital Laboratory) was designed from its inception
to accomplish military goals.


2) Since the Challenger disaster with an IUS aboard, the space shuttle
has been deemed too dangerous for non-astronauts.


3) Yet military advocates don't blame the Air Force for what they
consider our civilian space shuttle / space station dilemma.


How is it logical for advocates of failed military orbital
capabilities (manned) to denigrate our current civilian orbital
capabilities?

For all the right sorts of technical, safety and payload reasons, as
well as per reductions in global pollution per tonne placed so quickly
into orbit, as such we'll need that new and greatly improved shuttle,
of which this need not be of more than 50% public invested.
Unfortunately, our MI5/CIA cloak and dagger aspects of the past,
present and future has our village idiot butts and private parts
pretty much nailed to their next available cross.

Here's another somewhat polished reply, as for topic brain-food and
eye-candy, whereas here's a couple of old links worth looking at, plus
something of NASA's NExT that'll most likely never happen unless pigs
fly and hell freezes over, not to mention those NASA/Apollo cows ever
coming home.

Boeing OASIS:
Earth-Moon L1 Gateway Missions / Executive Summary 10/2/2001http://spacecraft.ssl.umd.edu/design_lib/OASISEXEC_97.pdf

Clarke Station:
An Artificial Gravity Space Station at the Earth-Moon L1 Pointhttp://www.lpi.usra.edu/publications/reports/CB-1106/maryland01b.pdf

Building an L1 Depot in Phases:
Growing in step with operations on the Moon's surfacehttp://chapters.nss.org/hub/pdf%20presentations/LIphases.pdf

Getting the most tonnage per any given fly-by-rocket method is by far
most obtainable if such payload tonnage were intended for deployment
into the moon's L1 pocket. This ML-1 location is an interactive
gravity-null or quiet zone of otherwise being nearly ideal for
efficiently station-keeping as much volumetric size and tonnage as
you'd like.

However, keeping in mind that this Earth-Moon-L1 location is also
double IR toasty because, that physically dark moon once even
partially solar illuminated is what reflects and/or radiates solar
energy at roughly 33%~50% of the available IR spectrum. Don't kid
yourself about that wide-open space between Earth and our moon, as for
being the least bit cool or much less cold as reported by those NASA/
Apollo missions it is not, especially if there's multiple human bodies
and loads of systems and instrumentation heat to continually get rid
of, as such is not as technically easy to get rid of such heat as
you'd think, especially since unlike the 50% dark time of ISS, there's
not much greater than 2% dark time per any given year while situated
within the moon's L1, meaning that for days on end there's none of
that shade whatsoever, as well as at times getting that IR energy as
derived from three directions at once.

My fully tethered LSE-CM/ISS (Lunar Space Elevator) along with its
counter mass of a truly substantial space habitat that's extremely
well shielded, and of its tether dipole element reaching that other
habitat capable pod or module to within 2r of Earth, is far better
than either of the above or that of anything NASA's NExT space station/
gateway has to offer.

What's so terrible and/or horrifically insurmountable about utilizing
our moon's L1 for our next space depot/gateway? (I can't think of
anything that's negative, other than being hot and gamma saturated,
each of which can be managed within known technology)

This coming from our very own stealth solar energy and green H2
provider. Very good, lord Mook.
