One Asteroid 500 miles long is nearly solid nickel.
I think it would be alot easier to have robots land on it, mine it, and rail gun it to the moon.
Then use it to build space craft or whatever on the moon.
If the earth is wiped out due to disease, nuclear war, or some other human engineered disaster, we need a backup plan , and the moon is the closest one to us.
A moonbase is a good idea, all the He3 up there is a good idea.
We can use the MUCH stronger solar power up there to make it work.
We have robots build it around the clock 24 x 7 not needing air, food, water or rest, just spare parts.
We send spare parts up in a air bag delivery system similar to what we sent the mars rover in.
The asteroid belt may hold more mineral wealth then we could feasibly mine here on earth.
It is easier to move tons of the sutff around in zero gravity too.
I think robots are the way to do it, humans would die, and would cost alot more than robots would.
We form a group of concerned countries and co-fund it.
10 major nations funding it could bring it in collectively cheap.
A VERY large robot built telescope on the darkside of the moon that could lease out time to scientists on the surface with a digital microwave link of the data.
The keck telescope had to use a multipart mirror due to its sheer weight, on the moon the gravity is MUCH less and a larger lense is feasible.
The near zero light pollution on the darkside of the moon would provide great imagery.
The moon having nearly no atmosphere helps that as well.
Robots mining the raw materials and building it there could build it and MANY other things.
If you do not believe robots could do it, consider that the next time you are going down the road in your car at 70 mph and realize it was partially built by robots.
I think if robots build the moon base it could be done affordable, then in 20 years humans could move in.
I am suprised there are not solar powered lunar robots right now . I think it would be a good idea.
A moon base is possible, but not in the sense that most ppl think. Sending ppl up there is just cost prohibitive.
But if you think a little like Isaac Asimov, then sending robots makes perfect sense.
You send small robots up there that can be remotely controlled from earth, and have Xmit/Rcv stations at different locations around the globe.
You bring in several countries and even companies on the project, split the costs, and write a agreeable charter.
One country footing the bill imght be high, but if 10 did it ???
As there is almost no atmosphere on the moon, so Solar works VERY well up there.
As it is VERY cold on the dark side of the moon you can use that for refridgerant purposes, ie. cooling.
Once a LARGE Solar array is built, air scrubbers similar to what was in the old space capsules of the 60's could be built and an underground network or redundant tunnels could be dug . Better tech is now available.
Make all the equipment electrically powered, and excess electricity can be used to process mined ore.
Not enough electricity , then the ore sits around awhile.
Trying to fly all the materials to the moon is crazy, have the raw materials there built into what we need.
I think China is thinking this, thus there comment they intend to mine the moon.
It is not going to be easy, that much is sure, but alot of our manufacturing here on earth has already alot of robotic elements.
Auto worker unions fought against the further invasion of robots into car plants.
This tech and this mindest could build the moonbase and make it inhabitable prior to humans ever setting foot in there.
If the chinese are smart they will do it this way, and to be real honest, this way nobody dies.
Once the moonbase has run on automated systems and taken a meteor or asteroid hit without being destroyed , then it is considered safe for a large scale move in of scientists.
Shielded by 100's of feet of moon dirt, ppl could live and work there to build space stations, space craft, more solar arrays, build a truly GIANT low gravity telescope on the moon.
Think zero light pollution on the dark side of the moon, think of a radio antenna twice the size of the Aericebo array.
Alot of truly GREAT things could be done on the moon.
Well AFAIK , Carmack just makes first person shooters.
So he has been thinking mostly in one box.
RPG's are following a layout similar to paper ADnD that was laid out close to 30 years ago.
RPG's are suppose to be somewhat thought prevoking instead of a simple trigger happy gore fests.
Trigger happy gore fests have their place, but the other genre by no means should be displaced, or disrespected because it takes grey matter to play it.
The eccentricity of alternate worlds, and solving the social and spatial puzzle is part of the endearing quality of RPGers.
since when were books or PDF's/readme's a bad thing ???
Give up posting here looking for sympathy with ppl that are largely the replacements for the americans that got canned.
Your trying to make your point to the ppl that took those jobs, or corporate types that have the imported labor working for them so upper management and a select few find a raise in a downturn.
Meanwhile the bankruptcies pile up, and the cars go back.
We got 12,000,000 ppl out of work, and we got some bozo on here saying they are Alcoholics.
How about some of them don't even drink, how about some of them drink responsibly ??? No, he just decided to stereo type them because they are lazy american scum.
Well to that rhetoric I would like to say, why did you leave your country and come here if America/Americans suck so bad.
For the money, and that is all.
Are you back in your country trying to make it better, no I do not think so it is just a money grab, by the imported labor and by the Suits that lied about labor shortages for past 5+ year and Norman mattloff a professor at UC Davis outlines that farce in this fine article that is WELL documented here:
http://www.vdare.com/pb/matloff_h1b.htm
As for the replacement of american workers , it will continue until ppl in america finally get sick of it enough to do what canada did.
It was SO RAMPANT in canada that canadians have made it so that you cannot fill a job as a foreignor if a out of work canadian can be found to fill the job.
They keep records of ppl, and give them right of first refusal, and if they are qualified they get the job.
If they are not qualified and they cannot find ANYONE that is qualified and willing to work for the "prevailing" wage, then a Visa worker can step in and take the job.
This sounds like good common sense.
Taking the nations economy and laying off "millions" and triggering "millions" of bankruptcies is patently "stupid"
Let's take a clue from canada and end the cheap scab labor program , read up on what Mr. Tancredo of the US senate has to say about the Visa worker abuses:
http://www.h1b.info/
So to the popping jays that spout rhetoric , a storm is building and the laid off americans are pi$$ed off.
Take your Alcoholic talk and take your Visa and head home.
Here ya go, my math is based on the statement they make in this article saying that "if uranium is used at current levels"
currently is a minor energy producer, if pushed to top producer it would run out MUCH faster.
http://www.world-nuclear.org/info/inf75.htm
That gets you 3 out of the 5 you asked for.
I am not a Greenpeace member, nor am I green party.
I think fusion vs. fission would be better, thus why I said phase it out over 20 years.
I think Robert Katia will get his hot fusion liquid metal wall reactor working in 20 years or less.
At least he seems to think so.
You seem quite cranked up on this subject, I take it you were in the California blackouts or just the East Coast ones ??
hehehe, if you were out any money, I am sympathetic to your personal loss , but the US needs more responsible energy policy.
Yes, I am in the US.
It was not intended as Troll work, it was a statement based on them saying 50 yrs if used at current levels for easy to access uranium . My statement says if Uranium was pushed to the top used fuel it would be used up in a few decades.
Now converting all we could to plutonium, no idea there.
I also think the world could do with a little less plutonium considering its alternate use.
The long haul transmission lines are not needed IMHO.
We can work off metro based solutions.
The only exceptions I could see to this would be to tap alternative power sources like Hydro.
It is now common knowledge that if all countries in the world switched to nuclear power, we would run out of material to power them in just a few decades.
The nuclear waste left behind in countries even less scrupulous than the US is cause for concern as well.
I think nuke power needs to be phased out over the next 20 years.
I think tidal, and geo-therm need to be given more interest.
The bay of fundy is the largest potential tidal power generator in the entire world, moving more water every 12 hrs than all the rivers in the world combined.
It is just off the coast of canada near Nova Scotia.
We need to not make a reservoir system there, it would destroy the ecosystem, underwater turbines or a flotation hydraulic based system would work best and have the least environmental impact.
France's tidal power generation system has had a negative impact, we can learn from that and make a better one.
Theirs uses a dam to hold back water, and then release, and make power on the flow . Not sure if it makes it bidirectionally or not.
The grid currently wastes 9% - 15% just in Transmission.
http://www.ramgen.com/about_doe.html
Thus why I say make it locally.
Smith Cogeneration has found a way via natural gas to make it for less and use the energy to its fullest.
http://www.smithcogen.com/aboutcogeneration.htm
The VAST majority of the population lives within 75 miles of the coast , design this into the equation.
Transport energy "natural gas" via high pressure pipelines from high pressure gas wells to coastal areas.
When we can move to alternative power, then make the gradual switch over as time permits.
Hydrogen Sulfide is largely burned off at this point, and is considered VERY explosive, and the famous movies about poison gas wells are talking about this gas.
Oil refineries actually end up making more of this stuff in their processes, this would turn it into a revenue stream like they did with Carbon Fiber.
Carbon Fiber, Stronger than steel, lighter than Titanium.
Excerpt:
http://www.cas-bikes.com/page9.html
The carbon fiber and the epoxy matrix has the best strength to weight ratio of any material in the world.
Did not know about them having to re-pressurize it, but then of course I have not sutdied that tech that well.
Although natural gas wells do dot most of America.
I think is cheaper to push natural gas, then to run 10,000 miles of Mega-Watt grid that is presently failing even at at present awesome capacity of 12 Trillion Watts anually.
Most of the power plants in the Midwest run on natural gas now.
Like in plumbing, if you used bigger pipe, and reduce it in size as it is distibuted , well head pressure is often more than enough to push it GREAT distances.
Some well head pressures in the midwest are high enough to be used or the new power generation systems because they are so high in pressure.
http://www.cryotherm.com/natural-gas.html
Chk it out.
There are lot of low pressure wells too, but I think this show the gas wells as a better deal, all the way around.

Several other posters on here have mentioned it
The dark side of the moon would make a great place for
a Telescope roughly 3 or 4 times the size of the
Keck telescope in Hawaii
The solar power on the moon would be very plentiful, and
we could build the majority of this with robots and remote
control systems
Yes, there is a 2 second dealy, but we have a further dealy to
mars and use the rovers there in a similar manner
Build the moonbase underground for insulation , and for
shielding against cosmic rays
Have humans show up only after extensive testing proved
the moon base was safe for humans
Have redunant power and life support systems to keep
it that way too
Peace,

would need to largely live underground
Several hundred feet underground in circular tunnels
similar to those going under the english channel
The cost of tunnelling has dropped due to projects
and tech derived form it like "The Big Dig" in Boston
The moon base should be built by robots running off
a Solar array set up on the moon, by said robots
The robots need to be able to diagnose and troubleshoot
each other, and repair each other
Like a linux cluster if a percentage of them goes down,
then it just functions at lower capaciy, but progress
is still made
Every so often spare parts are sent up and land similar
to the air bag landing used for the mars rover
Solar power is much stronger on the moon as it nearly
has no atmosphere
Feeding, Breathing, Sleeping humans would be too expensive
to put up their initially and the Biosphere here in the
US failed in its testing
Have the robots work the kinks out
Humans can go up there once the moonbase is finished and
testing is complete
Several nations should join together to shoulder the
burden and share the rewards

Solar and Wind power cost more to implement than their

Natural Gas "at this time" is the cheapest to build
Over time if the Solar/Wind system is not a victim of
hail or lightning it wins out
The problem is we are geared towards 7-11 type economics,
ie. what does it cost right now, that is why solar and wind
are hurting
That and storage of electricity in batteries is VERY inefficient
at this time

You got to be kidding me, as the wire gets hotter you
are telling me it becomes a better conductor
Uhhh, no, it does not
Heat increases resistance through a piece of wire. Use an ohm meter on a light bulb and you see it.
Excerpt:
Positive Temperature Coefficient = high heat =high resistance because heat causes electrons to collide.

Heat is not electricity's friend, ask your CPU !!!

the radio spectrum is a HUGE wasted
More than the 9 - 15 % already being burned by the grid

I worked on Radar for the military, High Energy RF
transmission is ENORMOUSLY wasteful
dB power level is regards to RF reception has nothing
to do with shooting multi milliion volts of electricity
thru the air
The sound and light generated by lightning is a good
example of the amount of wasted power when travelling thru
the air which has a resistive value
One of the best di-electrics for a Capacitor is air, because
of its high resistive qualities
Back to school amigo
