NASA considers outpost beyond moon's far side
"NASA is pressing forward on assessing the value of a "human-tended
waypoint" near the far side of the moon — one that would embrace international partnerships as well as commercial and academic participation, Space.com has learned. According to a Feb. 3 memo from William Gerstenmaier, NASA's associate administrator for human exploration and operations, a team is being formed to develop a cohesive plan for exploring a spot in space known as the Earth- moon libration point 2 (EML-2)."

NASA considers outpost beyond moon's far side
NASA's associate administrator for human exploration and operations, a team is being formed to develop a cohesive plan for exploring a spot in space known as the Earth- moon libration point 2 (EML-2)." Could someone please explain to me how you "explore" a spot in space? But, we would save money on sample return containers. Several years ago we were in the lounge on a cruise ship. There was an announcement - We are about to cross the Arctic Circle. Three women jumped up and raced to the window, almost knocking people over, to get a look at it. They were disappointed that they missed it. |

At least with this plan, were not struggling to emerge from one gravity well
just so that we may fall down into another.... Dave |

They were disappointed that they missed it. A tethered OASIS/outpost/gateway offers all sorts of nifty advantages. That moon is worth perhaps a trillion dollars per month to us, or to whomever gets control of it. Having the Earth-moon L1 (perhaps more so than the farside L2) as a command post would be extremely valuable, and I'm not even talking about astronomy values. The farside L2 would be ideal for astronomy and space communications, but not much good for anything else. http://translate.google.com/# Brad Guth, Brad_Guth, Brad.Guth, BradGuth, BG / “Guth Usenet” |

The nations needs to rebuild its industrial base so as to better afford such projects. And the poor man (the majority now) who aren't going to get ahead aren't going to care or generate the resources needed to such a project. The ultra-rich really don't care as they are too busy doing drugs (both RX and illegal) and banging high class hookers. The positions use seems limited to its view and its distance. Perhaps it could used to assemble a multiple part craft away from certain nations that might take pot shots at a defenseless vessel. |

I know of many that spend twice that much on coffee per day, not to mention whatever cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, sports, junk-foods, entertainment, travel and just in tips alone. How else (other than perpetual wars) are you going to create 100 million jobs? http://translate.google.com/# Brad Guth, Brad_Guth, Brad.Guth, BradGuth, BG / “Guth Usenet” |

I would settle for an "autonomous waypoint" at L2 to serve as a lunar 'dark-side' comms relay to sats at L4 or L5. To wit, it would not be a bad idea to launch twin L4 & L5 "environmental" explorer sats just to make sure we can check our assumptions about these areas. Isn't there is a chance of elevated micro-asteroid debris within these areas because of their inherit gravitational stability? Dave According to all things NASA/Apollo, the environment around our naked moon is passive and inert, with less chance of encountering any bits of meteors than here on Earth. Apparently whatever gravity or wide open exposure to whatever is passing through is a non-issue. It's even cold on the sunny side while coasting between the moon and Earth, because A-13 damn near froze to death. http://translate.google.com/# Brad Guth, Brad_Guth, Brad.Guth, BradGuth, BG / “Guth Usenet” |
