    One of the worst ideas I've heard about the moon, was that some corporations wanted to install devices that would basically light up as advertising billboards that could be seen from earth.

      If that meteor would have hit Russia in 2013, instead of getting blown out of the sky by extraterrestrials, the world would likely be considering war obsolete as the destructive capabilities of the universe are a much larger threat. But instead, lives were saved and life moves on while humanity will inevitably turn to war again. A war in space would be horrible. The movie Gravity sets a good example on what would happen to most of, if not all of the satellites - space debris and useless garbage it would turn into, eventually raining down through our atmosphere over decades. I'm sure humans in space, if nerdy enough to be part of it, would also be too nerdy to want to declare war against other nerds with the potential to lose it all. Laws will likely be strict and extremely enforced to preserve the tech as long as possible and as more tech is added in orbit around us.

    In the 1990s, there was a group called the Artemis Project or Institute where you could "stake a claim" like in the gold rush days to territory in space. It was purely whimsical and totally unenforceable, but I took my shot and filed a claim for King's Crater on the Moon, extending out from the center to a radius of 50 miles. I have my claim certificate framed and in a box in storage. I should probably dig it out and hang it somewhere.

You can't just change the course of a satellite to such a great degree to fly around countries, not at these velocities. It has to approximately cover a great circle around the Earth. This applies to everything, every rocket, satellite, natural or artificial things, even if you are just starting to go somewhere else in the solar system. It's not possible to have both spaceflight at all and that prohibition.

      Actually, I get your point, but I vehemently disagree. There are many many countries who are not responsible enough to engage in space exploration. There's a reason why we don't give countries in Africa and the Middle East blueprints for our rockets. Because they'd attach nuclear warheads or conventional explosives to them, and start blowing each other and everyone else around them up. Once a country becomes responsible enough to develop capability for space exploration, they'll come to that on their own terms, not the West's.

      I don't think I can agree with your premise. We are already far too invested as a global society to let even a major incident (the ISS falling on the Kremlin, for a silly worst-case exemplar) or a pinball effect as one piece of junk starts a cascade. IT just means getting up there to clean it up, and create deployable shields for existing satellites and labs.

    Wouldn't be the first time that China lost track of a rocket and it caused collateral damage. From the Wikipedia page for "Intelsat 708": February 15, 1996 when the Long March 3B launch vehicle failed while being launched from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in China. The launch vehicle veered off course immediately after liftoff and struck a nearby village, officially killing at least six people.

    • @vinesauceobscurities
      @vinesauceobscurities Год назад +4

      Can't forget more recent reentry incidents in 2020-2022 involving Chinese launch stages uncontrollably falling into the Indian Ocean, south Pacific, and Atlantic, fueling speculation that debris even fell on the ground and posed a real hazard to people. Their stage boosters have no means of control after release, meaning they couldn't be steered safety into the sea after they are ejected.
      Absolutely reckless decision on their part to design their rockets that way.

      Please stop this constant bagging of China/Russia. If you want to do body counts check out the number of people killed in the pursuit of 'democracy' and human rights by the U$A and West. As for uncontrolled reentries there is a long history of this on western rockets. In fact if you want to get a launch license all you need to show is the kill probability is low enough and that is NOT ZERO. If you look into the the recent Starship launch you'll find the flight termination system FAILED. The rocket could have headed off anywhere after the disastrous pad debacle and the FTS system would have effectively useless had it veered towards the crowds watching or the towns nearby. If you're worried about rockets/debris then look into the airline industry records to get a little perspective.

      ​@@vinesauceobscurities The odds of those booster stages hitting anything is miniscule.
      Most of the surface at those latitudes is water. Most of the land is either uninhibited or fields.
      Let's put it like this: only one person in recoded history has ever been struck by a meteor. They weren't even killed.
      And earth gets hit by about 17 a day (that reach the ground).
      In conclusion, it China launched a rocket with an uncontrolled booster 17 times a day, for a century, they'd probably flatten someone.
      They have currently launched a total of 4.

    Not sure if it would make sense for any military satellites to orbit the moon, but there might be uses for ones that orbit the Earth-Moon barycenter (if such is possible). Unless somebody figures out what's going on with such a satellite (which may be purposely made difficult to observe in the first place), it might be a bit trickier to predict. And something like that could end up sending material towards the Moon.

Civilian and military. The shuttles were far busier for the DoD than for civvy space programs. Those shuttles got near constant use from the fed for anything DoD related. And most of those scheduled launches were not listed for the general public or anyone without clearance,
    and the purpose for each mission was also for those with clearance. Crazy stuff.

      (cont.) The government's of Russia, China, India and especially the US, are more than deeply involved in militarizing space. Everyone wants to be the one who can secure the most pull in the future when space is not an empty vast and fertile place of scientific discovery and exploration and more like the high sees during the days of canvas sails, iron and bronze cannons, and the cutlass/muzzle loading pistol/rifle toting boarding parties who would be engaged in ship to ship battles across the oceans of earth centuries ago.
      Soon space will be the new high seas, large vessels with military armaments and scratch crews, and both scientific and military contingents on board will soon be crisscrossing large regions of space, ferrying goods and personnel whilst others engaged in privateering will be fighting against each other with the endorsement of one nation against another.
      It will be the 1400's - 1800's all over again. The advancements we will gain from this upcoming era will dwarf any we had learned from in the past. Artificial gravity, FTL travel, a deeper understanding of the cosmos, and a myriad of supporting technology will come flooding out of all the blood sweat and tears of our species and it's chapters of development far far into the future from now.
      All of us right here right now will be but forgotten or lost to time by then. When people of that future look back to our time, totally baffled at how anyone in our time survived, it will be as if we looked back at people hundreds or even thousands of years before us wondering how anyone of those ancient eras survived without germ theory and penicillin
