China has no right to keep America from landing on the moon again.
If they attempt to stop us, we should arm ourselves and shoot back. We have every right to establish lunar bases and lunar mining facilities. "Jimbo" wrote in message ...

Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com). Version: 6.0.515 / Virus Database: 313 - Release Date: 9/1/03 I totally agree that the likes of China should go for it, even though certain individuals will fight to their death, as well as our deaths, in order to stop anyone from even closely approaching the moon. Unfortunately, for the lunar space elevator tit for tat; it's first come first served because, there's only room for safely accommodating one of these suckers: http://guthvenus.tripod.com/gv-cm-ccm-01.htm Here's a little typical feedback of supposed facts from: Jay Windley ) "High-energy cosmic rays do not come from the sun. They come from outside the solar system, and our sun is the primary defense against them. The particles released by the sun itself are of considerably lower energy and thus their secondary effects in the ambient are minimal." http://guthvenus.tripod.com/gv-moon-radiation.htm Fortunately, I never specified upon any specific "high-energy cosmic rays", just pointing out that our sun is certainly capable of tossing out its fair share of far worse things than visible photons plus IR worth of BTUs and of those nasty UVs. Obviously a supernova is worth a thousand fold in terms of being nasty, thereby from the far off generated galactic influx must offer a measurable degree of such, and of the secondary radiation given off by all that infamous clumping lunar dirt should become a fairly darn good indicator. The assertions or premise offered by the likes of Jay Windley, that of not only lacking an atmosphere but also without a Van Allen buffer zone is not such a bad thing if you're out and about on the lunar surface, seems somewhat risky if not downright lethal. I might have come into that understanding if we're referring to an earthshine illuminated lunar surface, but not so far if that's of any fully solar illuminated environment while wearing a moon suit because, we're not talking about avoiding a 270 nm UV sun burn. Sorry about all my reverse engineering logic, or lack thereof. I was simply trying to establish upon the amount of solar radiation that becomes hard X-Ray class. "High-energy cosmic rays do not come from the sun" Do we suppose that happens to include the likes of the last couple of weeks of solar flak? Seems there should be some specific knowledge (excluding Apollo) of what's what pertaining to the solar illuminated surface as opposed to the absolute lunar nighttime environment and, of something specific pertaining to whatever earthshine contributes. This is somewhat like my getting a grasp upon the applied energy (thrust) involved in accelerating something the size and mass of the moon. As feedback provided from: Ami Silberman ) "The mechanisms for the lunar recession have been well understood for decades. In a nutshell, tides cause friction between the oceans and the ocean floors, which transfers energy from the solid part of the earth to the oceans. One of the effects of this friction is that the tidal bulge is off-center, and is located "eastward" of the moon. (So the high tide actually occurs when the moon is west of overhead.) The result of the tidal bulge being off center is that there is a torgue effect placed on the moon, and this in turn transfers energy from the earth to the moon. The earth's spin rate slows, the moon is speeded in its orbit and therefor moves further away from the earth. (This transfer of energy is essentially a transfer of angular momentum, which is a conserved quantity.) The historical (over geological eras) rate of recession has varied due to varying amounts of tidal friction due to shallower or deeper oceans, and the positions of the continents." For the benefit of all my loyal critics, I've conceded that there's a darn good chance that the likes of Tim Thompson has more than a few valid points as to his version of what's what. This following page is just another example of my learning from the pros, of accepting other input, which may even including the likes of what you've just presented, that I'd not be calling flak, as there actually seems to be some considerable worth to at least Tim's version of the lunar recession, if I don't say so myself. http://guthvenus.tripod.com/earth-moon-energy.htm Regards, Brad Guth / IEIS~GASA http://guthvenus.tripod.com |
