Bad news. The Moon is surprisingly radioactive.
Well I’ll keep quiet about the six Apollo missions to the moon and why that wasn’t brought up then...
But here is the article of what was discovered and is news now. https://futurism.com/the-byte/moon-s...yV7U0OGWnlPgKQ |
Yep, that pesky radiation always was a big problem and everyone knew it.

Okay, the moon is off my bucket list.

They will just have to learn to bend and warp that space-time to get to places. :D |

One either has to be clueless (very unlikely for an astronaut) or really have “a pair” made of titanium to even imagine traveling through space...
Read this and imagine the hostile environment and the hopeless situation one could wind up in without so much as a warning out there. http://www.solarstorms.org/SWChapter6.html |

It is supposed to be a one way ticket for first settlers? So a life in space suit forever, if that is even possible? Materials that are delivered ahead of time to construct shelter by 3D printers or by astronauts themselves? How about a sustainable food supply for the rest of their lives? I don’t see a solution other than robotic construction of protective shelter ahead of arrival of humans there. :scratch2: I think a mission to Mars is a pipe dream for now. Probably not in our natural lifetimes. :no: Way too many challenges to overcome. People manage to perish getting lost on our own planet which is a paradise by comparison. |
Dammit, I seriously was going there this fall to just get away. I guess it’ll be Vegas now. **kicks rocks**

I just look at the pretty high def film of the rovers on Mars. That will do. All those wasted dreams and dollars. Pardon the pun, but I don't want to wear a Rad spacesuit 24/7.

From the article I posted earlier in the thread.
“Microscopic current flows can flip a computer memory position from ‘1’ to ‘0’ or cause some components, or an entire spacecraft system, to switch-on when it is not supposed to. When this happens, it is called a ‘Single Event Upset’ or SEU, and like water they come in two flavors: hard and soft. A hard SEU actually does unreparable physical damage to a junction or part of a microcircuit. A soft SEU merely changes a binary value stored in a device’s memory, and this can be corrected by simply ‘re-booting’ the device. Engineers on the ground cannot watch the circuitry of a satellite as it undergoes a discharge or SEU event, but they can monitor the functions of the satellite. When these change suddenly, and without any logical or human cause, they are called ‘Satellite Anomalies’. They happen a lot more often than you will ever read about in the news media” :smoking: |
