tomcat,
After having invested billions upon billions of hard earned dollars,
whereas at "600 feet beneath the Moon's surface" you'd be perfectly
safe, possibly quite cozy within a massive geode pocket that's coated
with silica and mineral rich salt crystals the size of Buicks.

Anyway, it turns out that you 'expired' because you forgot to take Moon
water with you, and you dehydrated.
Oddly, LL-1 is by far the most payload tonnage efficient zone to work
with receiving those shipments of beer and pizza from Earth, as well as
for extracting your salty green moon-water. Once having established
the highly profitable LSE-CM/ISS and of the dipole element that reaches
to within 4r of mother Earth, and of having the trillion+ dollars per
year as income represents that I could afford to keep the likes of
yourself that's safely sequestered within your underground cavern as
one of my favorite minions. You could even run my LSE God Shop as well
as the LSE Smut Shop concessions on behalf of the LSE lobby that's
planted a good asteroid proof km underground.

BTW; why's your mineral rich and salty moon-water green, and not red,
blue or yellow?

First of all, I am not sure that you can have a satellite at whatever
altitude capable of supporting 20,000 miles of rope. Yes, I have heard
of this idea and I know it did not originate with you. Perhaps it is
my lack of unintelligence, but I cannot understand how something can
'hang' there, against the force of gravity, attached to a satellite in
a geosynchronous orbit.

The weight of the 'rope' would almost certainly bring the satellite
crashing to the Earth, not to mention the difficulty of constructing
such a thing, or the possibility of airplanes running into the rope.

The idea of a 'wire' floating in orbit pulling in magnetic/zero
point/radioactive electrical power from 'wherever' is what I think you
are talking about. They did this as a Shuttle experiment and got
ungodly amounts of electricity. I don't think they said exactly how
much and that immediately made me suspicious that it was really huge.

If this 'mysterious' electrical power requires only a vacuum then it
may be possible to simply lay wire on the Moon's surface to draw power
from wherever. Or, it may be necessary to put the wire in orbit and
transmit the power to your Moon Base.

A lot of this 'wire energy' phenomena requires scientific explanation.
If it is the result of Earth's magnetic field, it may not work on the
Moon which has a very small iron core. If it is Zero Point Energy then
it may work anywhere if the wire is in a vacuum.

I am curious if someone in cyberland has additional information on this
subject. If so, please reply.
