Re: Lunar Space Elevator simply isn't for everyone

Ross A. Finlayson;
As to an LL-1 based sizable asteroid tethered to the Moon, I would
rather not have large asteroids in Earth's strong gravity in the near
future. Instead, the Moon itself should be used, in terms of an
extraterrestrial industrial center.
What are you? (another certified village idiot like myself?)
With that sort of LL-1 naysayism and obviously without so much as a
freaking clue as to what the LSE-CM/ISS is all about, can you possibly
get yourself any more negative, so that we can make good usage out of
the intellectual naysay implosion of such negative energy before your
turn yourself and your antimatter worth of naysay-intelligence into a
black hole.

Though using the moon itself makes perfect sense. However, how exactly
do you plan upon safely and efficiently getting whatever's of robotics
and crew to/from that dark and reactively nasty surface, or rather for
getting such deeply underground unless it's initially placed upon a
nearly coal like basalt terrain that's of carbon/soot, iron and
titanium coated plus salty surface that's merely illuminated via
earthshine.

Gosh folks, come to think of it, I've never once considered a tethered
asteroid, nor would I. As how absolutely dumb and dumber of an idea is
that, or what?

I promote instead an Earth to Space Mass Driver.
Once your stuff of a few kg per package gets into LEO, then what?
Are you talking about sending ISS those little pods containing their
happy-meals and extra toilet paper via Mass Driver?

The notion of Earth's magnetic field dissipating is rather frightening.
Get yourself used to it because, we've already been paying the price by
way of taking on greater and greater hard-X-rays and other nasty forms
of dosage as is, and therefore we should get with the program of making
our next generations of DNA into a more rad-hard DNA, as in
intelligently redesigned so as to tolerate a 100 fold increase in the
influx of such radiation, plus at least another 10 fold increase in the
local/artificially created forms of radiation that so happens to
include a great deal of discarded Radium that'll quite nicely sustain a
1600 year half-life of providing us with the nifty likes of Radon, that
which rather quickly becomes good old lead, of which knowingly
contaminates everything in sight. So, we'd best improve our DNA to
also tolerated more lead in our diets and our surrounding environment
because, like CO2 without a sufficient population of diatoms, the likes
of extra lead and CO2 are soon going to be within and around just about
everywhere.

Christ almighty on yet another stick, we have collage graduates with
their doctorate degrees of dumbology that can't even safely deal with
fire, with over a million homes or apartments damaged and/or destroyed
because of their having candles in use that are obviously a whole lot
smarter than the supposedly educated humans that were supposedly
encharge. What the freaking dumbology are we even doing with using
candles anyway? Is this still the 18th century? Or are we supposed to
be living in caves?

You do realize that a millionth of the surface area of mother Earth
(5.112e8 m2) is entirely within the grasp of existing technology, as to
deliver on behalf of end-users with safe, clean and renewable 2 kw per
soul. Or, is that still asking too much?
