Why a "pit stop" on the moon is a bad idea
The Moon is a gravity well. To fall into the well, you must then climb back out. You effectivly need to bring with you fuel to:
a) leave earth orbit - which accounts for over 75% of current lift-off mass of space shuttle (even more for Saturn V)
b) Burn fuel for a safe landing on the moon
c) Burn more fuel to leave Moon orbit
d) Burn still more fuel for a safe landing on Mars
e) Burn yet still more fuel to leave Mars orbit
f) Burn yet still again more fuel to slow down for a safe landing on Earth
The Saturn V was a "cockroach strapped to a gas can" to begin with. And that was for a Lunar trip that crashed into the Earth. You want to do this 3 times you say?
What, is George Bush's science advisor the same science advisor as Lost In Space, An American Werewolf in Paris, or Armageddon? -
