  22. Re:Before someone calls this a waste on NASA's New Mission to the Moon · · Score: 1

    In other words you mean build he moon base with robots, not humans.

    Somewhat like the pathfinders sent to mars, except much more utilitarian.

    We have robotic mining equipment now, and to be honest with the
    visible impact craters on the moon, it would be best to build a
    moon base fairly deep underground for survivability of it.

    Once it is mined out to a fairly large size via electric powered
    equipment powered by solar panels recharging them, then have solar
    ovens cook the lunar soil to get the O2 up there and fill the sealed
    underground cavern/mine with it.

    We don't even have to launch it from earth, we could do it from the
    shuttle for the first initial few.

    We could scavenge all the space junk in orbit and setup a recycle
    center right off ISS, and use the shuttles to clean up the debris
    and reuse it to be shipped to the moon as raw materials.

    We need to make a true sustainable biosphere down here on earth
    though to see if it can be done, much like the failed one that
    was attempted years ago.

    You ask how we get the solar power funneled underground?

    We put a hot rail in much like subway trains use.

    The hot rail is charged by solar panels on surface,
    solar panels are spread out though so if a meteor impact
    hits it won't wipe out most/all of the solar array.

    Instead of using batteries use compressed air, as it has
    zero leak over time and near infitite recharge cycles.

    Use a Quasi turbine to make power from the stored air later.

    Could Also store heated oil like the SEGs system in the desert.

    With power + biosphere making O2 + food, you'd have the potential
    for a sustainable moon base deep underground protected from
    radiation and the harsh surface environment.

    Be one hell of a project, would love to work on it.

    Be apart of something that might 'truly' save mankind one day.
