Pleasant lunar temperatures

Interesting:

Parts of the moon have stable temperatures fit for humans, researchers find 

The moon has pits and caves where temperatures stay at roughly 63 degrees Fahrenheit, making human habitation a possibility, according to new research from planetary scientists at the University of California, Los Angeles.

Although much of the moon's surface fluctuates from temperatures as high as 260 degrees during the day to as low as 280 degrees below zero at night, researchers say these stable spots could transform the future of lunar exploration and long-term habitation. 

The shadowed areas of these pits could also offer protection from harmful elements, such as solar radiation, cosmic rays and micrometeorites.

For perspective, a day or night on the moon is equivalent to a little over two weeks on Earth — making long-term research and habitation difficult with such extremely hot and cold temperatures.

They should have used one of these pits as part of the plot to their Apollo hoax. These liars presented no plausible way to deal with all that heat.

I know that its hard to believe that the Americans hoaxed it up because the general public wasn't degenerate back then. Even a great deal of big business wasn't degenerate back then. But oligarchies not subject to downward mobility stay in a more or less permanent state of degeneracy. Like in mouse utopia.

Great breakthrough by the way!!!!!!! Absolutely sterling. Its not something I could have thought of.


But once you have advanced robotic tunnelling, and you can find these temperate spots, then you are away and laughing. No problem at all. Out of a string of issues heat and the need to tunnel into the moon for safety .....

These were the two big issues.
