Lunar space installations; why the hell not ? So according mostly to NASA we've been to the moon countless times, delivering crew after crew and essentially altogether tons of equipment. Why not then, 10 or so years ago, haven't we established any functional permanence, at least with regard to the ultimate US reconnaissance enterprise ?. As the ultimate solution for our never ending cold-wars, sort of the final nail in the coffins of those dirty rotten communistic countries, you would have to think this would be simply too good for our DoD, NSA & CIA to pass up. More importantly, what an opportunity for best resolving nearly all of our deep space research, but then even more so intriguing is for that of accommodating our incarcerated. Now days, no one seems to want any institution placed anywhere near their home, city or even their state if at all possible. Therefore, with all of our superior moon landing experience, along with Russia's vastly superior heavy-lift rockets, we could and perhaps should have long ago accomplished the ultimate institutions for housing our mutual criminals. Once the basic building blocks of enclosures and life supporting machinery was delivered, the only remaining task of continuing with robotic (unmanned) deliveries of accommodation modules and hundreds of tons of air, water and food should have been a snap, a no-brainer, especially with the help of those massive Russian rockets. Now with all this at hand, we could simply ship our unwanted soles off to our moon, dropping them off at the front door (sort of speak) along with their first ration of air, and saying something like "goodby, have a nice stay, Oooo' by the way, don't ever go outside". Just think, no guards, no onsite staffing whatsoever, no locks on the doors or windows, and any riots are effectively resolved as we simply reduce or cut-off their shipments of air. And so why didn't NASA think of this ?. It costing all off us $50,000 or more per inmate every year, and lets say we start off with 100,000 life-term inmates, so do the math. A few years down the road, after a few million tons of air delivery, the moon may eventually hold on to some of that, lets say 200' feet worth of, atmosphere. Admittedly this air could be mostly spent (a little thin), but none the less it would be a start. As the moon is 1/6 our gravity (approx 17% that of the Earth's), you and I might think that it could eventually stabilize with at least a few hundred feet of breathable atmosphere. Here on Earth we have 20,000 feet in which humans can survive (more if you include Death Valley), so perhaps 200 feet (1% of Earth's) survivable atmosphere would be an obtainable consideration, not to mention that of underground habitats and mining of lunar ice/water, and then god knows whatever else. So, if we can't even accomplish this moon thing, then why are we so outrageously overspending on researching far beyond our remotest capabilities, not able to communicate with whatever we discover, as only to discover the obvious, that thousands or perhaps millions of years ago the newly discovered alien race died off or even their planet got itself exploded into oblivion. Come on guys, have a heart, lets focus on what we have to work with within our reach, and otherwise let those superior aliens find us instead of you and me (taxpayers) continuing to waste all of our resources. NASA/NSA/CIA/DoD It is truly beginning to look as though our NASA is totally caught up within the quagmire of our infamous departments of the CIA, NSA as well as the DoD. A real bowl of disgusting swill. A recent publication about our NSA is suggesting something quite eval and downright lethal with regard to our handling of foreign as well as American intelligence considerations. According to recent information becoming released and now published, clarifying as to how all the stops were being pulled out (which must have included the NASA group), much of this activity was at the greatest possible risk of our successful provocation as to starting a nuclear holocaust. Here again, major national agencies, such as those of NASA, would have been at least informed if not fully involved in perpetrating and therefore in the fullest support of such activities. Thank someone's God, that for the most part Russians had their spies and otherwise sufficiently intelligent as to recognize our activities as pathetic bluffs and posturing, otherwise we could easily have had our buts wiped. Now China seems to be our next war-game victim. What is it about our government that places you, me and the world at such risk ?. Have a look around our country and you can quickly discover multiple, massively constructed yet unmarked structures, massive capacity unmarked ships and associated infrastructures, specialty aircraft having no apparent defensive nature, and all of this being heavily guarded, tightly secured and otherwise off-limits to anyone inquiring as to their purpose. Those massive studio buildings at Area-51 are simply another example of unexplained issues. What are these hidden resources in preparation for ? How have they been utilized to date ? If for example; it has recently been stated that we have the ability to gather as much if not more communication intelligence from our spy satellites and other super-speed ultra-high altitude aircraft, then why are we now so intent upon (in-your-face) provoking China ?. If the US is so willing to openly trade with China, then what difference is it if Taiwan functions under China's rule ? What exactly do we have to loose, besides a few sweat-shops, international bank laundering capabilities, or possibly that of further NSA compromises (disclosures) ? Why are we forever in the wrong place at the right time (just maybe that's not the case at all) ? Why have we been developing mini-nuke technologies and now so prepared to deploy them ? What exactly is our problem (are we that insecure) ? The public may not have the right to know and understand the total functionality of every agency, however, we do need to be confident that our agencies are not running amuck, accomplishing their own privet agendas, and thereby placing us as well as the world needlessly at risk. I believe that any such unauthorized activities must have impacted heavily upon our personnel resources, and thereby resulted in a general lack of true discovery and research capabilities. My questions are; can we afford that ?, and at what human price is our provocation worthy of the end result ? At what levels of intentional (in-your-face) provocation have we been crossing the line ? And, should we keep on provoking regardless of the consequences ? Do we not have anything better to do ?..
