Love it and thank you!

The large amounts of ice at the poles make it even easier to get propellant from the Moon. Hopefully NASA’s RESOLVE mission to the lunar poles will confirm that this is technically feasible.

I’d like to see you be the guy to mine the moon, Phil. I’ll pledge your kickstarter campaign.

The biggest one is smack in the middle of the farside. Could it be the remnants of the nucleus of a companion moon?

A bit of magnetic prospecting and they should stand out like proverbial sore thumbs.

1. Did you ever receive my twitter message with my email attached for you to send that bootstrapping article you wrote? If you need me to resubmit a request via twitter, let me know.
2. Do you get involved much in artificial gravity discussions at the Swamp Works? Specifically, are you aware of whether NASA has tried using magnetic systems to spin/push/turn objects rapidly enough in space, to create some degree of gravitational force? (Honestly had a dream about something like that recently and thought, “hmm I wonder if NASA has tried something like this?”).

Thanks!

that was another magnificent read! I like the image of the Moonrakers having the last laugh.

It is really beneficial that you share your certain insights with people like me, who are no space related professionals but highly interested in this matter.
Because of the work that is done by you and others it now becomes reality what some – often for a very long time already – were thinking, reading, talking and writing about and especially wishing for.

Many thanks and best regards,
Nico
