China's Forbidden Moon (MEL1/moon L1)

It seems that our trusty moon, as having represented such a terrific
mascon of forced global warming to our environment ever since the last
ice age, is still kept as more off-limits than Venus, whereas Venus is
simply need-to-know or Old Testament nondisclosure sequestered for the
moment (in mainstream status quo damage-control limbo because the
planetology of Venus simply isn't nearly as old as Earth, and worse yet,
it looks as though we wouldn't be the first of intelligent souls having
set a hot foot on Venus).

Speaking a little about 'microgravity'; as such it's actually hard to
come by and harder yet to sustain unless you're in a fast LEO orbit and
therefore having to push yourself through 8 km/s worth of headwinds
(worse yet if you're in retrograde mode), or simply best accommodated if
you are out and about while literally hanging nearly effortlessly around
or rather within our moon's interactive L1 nullification zone.

If we are intent and thereby serious upon going for other planets or
other moons of such other planets, as such we could really utilize the
nifty logistics of our moon's L1 for accommodating our next ISS or
whatever POOF or Clarke Station as our do-everything space depot. In
fact, if we're merely going for our moon, it's rather nifty if not
technically essential for having the mission command platform as
coasting safely and efficiently at roughly r34, thereby sustaining an
average velocity of roughly 866 m/s with respect to Earth, as parallel
parked or rather coasting nearly effortlessly along within this ME-L1
pocket of nearby space that's about as devoid of atoms as it gets.

0) Our moon's L1 isn't a cheap date, nor is it not complex. You'll need
more than a good slide rule or pocket calculator if planning upon fully
utilizing this nifty interactive space that's so nearby. In other
words, all morons and/or the dumb and dumber sorts of village idiot
snookered fools, especially the dumbfounded naysayer's of Usenet, need
not apply.

1) Anything deployed at our moon's L1 starts off small, and it grows to
suit.

2) From then on. it only gets as big and/or as complex as you'd like it
to get.

3) Because of what this LSE-CM/ISS represents, it's not going to happen
overnight.

My previously suggested 1e9 m3 CM/ISS abode or space depot that's
capable of becoming worth 256e6 tonnes is not an all or nothing sort of
super Clarke Station on steroids. For starters, it's simply quite a bit
larger (a core of roughly 1280 meters), it's placed a wee bit further
towards Earth (perhaps r35~r36, averaging 60,830 km @861 km/s to 62,568
km @856 m/s) while multi-tethered directly to the moon, and there are a
few nifty interactive elements involved. The massive hull or shell of
this CM/ISS may or may not have to spin, as there are personal
artificial gravity alternatives that would function from within this
well shielded environment.

The LSE-CM/ISS can eventually reside at the moon's 34r (59,092 km), with
those counter rotating flywheels of energy storage being sustained at
r33.5 or whatever's exactly L1 (+/- 1 microgravity) once the tether
dipole element is extended to within 4r(25,512 km) of Earth (or perhaps
r6/38,268 is close enough). Over time the affect of this installation
would somewhat moderate the elliptical lunar orbit and could even reduce
and/or eliminate the rate of recession, whereas some open mindset folks
might tend to think this outcome is a good thing.

Besides, I'm absolutely certain that China will know exactly what to do.
So, I'll have to keep asking, why are so many of you folks (as
all-knowing as you've claimed to be) getting yourselves so gosh darn
huffy or otherwise naysay about all of this?

Just because you don't have a masters degree in Chinese Mandarin doesn't
mean that we're out of luck. That's because China becoming smarter by
the day and having been a whole lot wiser than most of us, and having
been increasing that lead, as such they'll learn our language (as many
already have) in order to accommodate their less fortunate (Mandarin
illiterate) clients, such as us.

This fancy enough "Clarke Station" document that's rather interesting
but otherwise seriously outdated, not to mention way under-shielded
unless incorporating 8+ meters of water plus having somehow established
an artificial magnetosphere, or perhaps 16+ meters of h2o if w/o
magnetosphere that's necessary because it's parked within 60,000 km from
our physically dark and otherwise highly reactive moon that's providing
the not so DNA friendly TBI(total body irradiation) dosage worth of
gamma and hard-X-rays, is simply downright deficient about sharing the
positive science and habitat/depot considerations for utilizing the
moon's L1/MEL1.

In fact, the Clarke Station document itself gives hardly a mention on
behalf of the tremendous L1 benefits to humanity, much less as to space
exploration or the daunting task of salvaging our mascon warmed
environment, and oddly it's still not having squat to do with any task
of actually developing, exploiting or otherwise terraforming the moon
itself. The document talks as though the moon doesn't hardly exist,
which is rather unfortunate since we'll be in need of such raw elements
and vast energy resources of the moon and from the L1 dipole as we
manage to run ourselves out of terrestrial fossil and yellowcake fuels
(can't hardly wage WW-IV w/o energy), as we continue to dim the albedo
of our Earth with as much energy consuming soot and otherwise toxic
chemical pollution as we can muster.

If you folks need my list of related subtopics before getting involved,
as such I'll do just that because, I have far more questions than
answers to share. Also, if you can place a copy of this topic into
NASA's "uplink.space.com" or even Usenet "cam.misc" and of similar
groups (especially of those currently moderated to death) that might
appreciate a good challenge or poke in the eye with a sharp stick,
please do as much as you can manage to get away with (though expect
flak).
