Too bad we still haven't a do-everything science platform at the moon's L1, much less situated upon the physically dark and nasty surface of our moon (perhaps the likes of China or India will fix that). Within the first 50 km of Earth's surface we've got roughly 2.5e19 m3 of mother Earth's rock to draw upon, of which the raw element of such common/terrestrial rock salt is worth 2.2 g/cm3. Trust me when others and I say that Earth's primary rock is not all that salty, as to account for having leached out 1.5e19 kg of that sodium/Na stuff. Mountains of extremely hard rock formations have often been formulated rather quickly as antipodes. Rock formations via lava flows or from the results of gradual plate tectonic forced rock are not the same thing as antipode forced rock that's relatively low in sodium and clearly hard enough to resist hundreds of millions if not a few billion years worth of atmospheric erosion. As best we know, Earth hasn't entirely renewed its surface for the past 4+ billion years, but it has been seriously impacted. Softer and/or porous "alkaline basalt is relatively poor in silica and rich in sodium. Alkali basalts predominate among the lavas of the ocean basins and are also common in mountain belts." There's little if any argument that much of Earth's salt is in fact obtained from our salty oceans that arrived at some unknown time, similar to our ocean basin formations having been created at some unknown time, as similar to Earth's seasonal tilt having gotten established at some unknown time, and otherwise similar to why Earth had all of those horrific ice ages and subsequent thaws for some entirely weird and thus unknown reasons that seem to have little if anything to do with whatever's terrestrial, obviously having next to nothing to do with the various species of humanity that was relatively few and far between at such early times. Of course, if there were a moon as of prior to 10,000 BC, as such we'd have those multiple forms of solid proof and very objective evidence of such because, folks as having survived way back then and even prior to 15,000 BC were actually extremely intelligent and thereby fully capable of their having taken notice of and having lived by the nifty moon light and unavoidable tidal forces of that nearby moon that's greater than a thousand fold massive by ratio than any other such moon, as well as providing strong evidence as depicted of their having to migrate due to the seasonal changes that otherwise w/o moon should been more of a monoseason w/o that icy proto-moon having previously impacted Earth, with many having suggested Earth's orbit w/o moon has having been more elliptical and perhaps even a bit tilt worthy unstable. Even if Mars were only as old as Earth, the erosion and whatever leaching process, along with the freeze dried nature of Mars today being nearly a vacuum realm of a nearly frozen orb to its core, is good reason as to why whatever Mars salt should still be on deck (sort of speak). From all indications as derived from the best available science, Mars is actually hundreds of millions if not a good billion years older than Earth, which means the erosion and/or leaching process of obtaining whatever salts from within is simply way past due, especially if that were the one and only way for a given planet to obtain its salt. Next to h2o, I'd place the element of salt as being 2nd in line to sustaining that very essential DNA/RNA code of life as we know it, which doesn't mean that other places of a more or less salty environment couldn't easily accommodate and/or sustain other life every bit as intelligent if not more so, especially if some of that other life were merely half as genetically intelligent and/or having been intentionally or by accident imported along with a degree of expertise or applied technology (such as us humans are soon enough becoming capable of doing another planet or moon). Fortunately there are the very good and unfortunately more than our fair share those bad sorts of germs or bugs that are a whole lot more survival smarter than most of us humans, and there are those extra survival smart little robust spores or perhaps a few diatoms that wouldn't even require a protective spacecraft in order to survive some vast interplanetary panspermia trek (fully interstellar worthy if safely sequestered within an icy proto-moon or onboard whatever atmospheric enhanced proto-planet), that would without any naked question entirely nail or frail DNA in more ways than most of us can count. Human biology and physiology is essentially a somewhat dumbfounded collective of rather poorly engineered DNA/RNA (meaning there's a lot of nifty DNA/RNA code that we're missing), that's continually in need of our frail existence being extensively educated as well as protected from just about everything (including from ourselves), meaning that our natural ability to survive isn't all that great unless all that surrounds us is within a somewhat narrow spec, and that our partner or neighbor isn't continually attempting to implement upon those new and improved ways of terminating or otherwise eating us alive. Of potentially older and/or as forced evolved via intelligent design, and thereby of likely smarter ETs that were given more or less of an environment to work with, as such these species of intelligent folks could actually be considerably better off at their having survived in places we'd consider as hell, or worse. Though being such a survival evolved or educated smart ET doesn't hardly require their being space travel worthy, or even RF communications capable, or for any good reason the least bit interested, which only makes for most everything SETI somewhat pointless, if not pathetic. Being ET smart is simply being alive when most of us dumbfounded humans if given the same environment or circumstances would have been long dead. However, the toasty and thus newish planetology environment of Venus is not the least bit insurmountable, especially with all of those raw elements and vast renewable energy resources at hand, which makes Earth look downright wussy (though obviously near ideal for the sorts of such a dumbfounded village idiot species as we've proven to be). To have once upon a time survived Mars (especially as of the last billion years), now that would have been a highly intelligent and robust ET, whereas if there was so much as a Martian worm, I'd be seriously impressed. As the terrestrial sequestered intelligent life that we supposedly are, if we weren't so freaking arrogant and summarily faith-based dumbfounded past the point of no return, as such we wouldn't require 1% of the salt and perhaps not 10% of the water. How the heck did we get stuck with more than our fair share of h2o and Na? In fact, as to how little h2o and Na is doable on behalf of sustaining ETI is still worth a good argument, because if an Earth like planet having just 1% the water and 0.1% the salt would obviously be worthy of holding our attention, even if it were merely a moon of Jupiter or Saturn, or God forbid Venus that offers more of just about everything, more than most of us can shake our born-again fist full of burning sticks at. - Brad Guth

Mars is simply not hardly a slaty planet, and it's much older than Earth. I happen to agree with "Andrew Nowicki", that not one but many significant impacting events must have morphed, iced down and otherwise having so extensively salted the surface of Earth. Of course, there's no such proof that Earth originated within this solar system, and there's even less proof pertaining to our salty moon. Mars seems much older than Earth, and Venus seems much less old than Earth. How much if any sial is on that deck of our physically dark and nasty moon? How much of a planetology common element does salt account for? At times of such an icy proto-moon representing itself as an incoming NEO, as likely having previously passed so close to impacting, it must have seemed exactly like the end of the world to many, and actually becoming the end of the world to many others caught in its gravity and aerobraking wake. The actual glancing blow of that icy sucker upon having accomplished its dastardly deed, whereas I'd have to think a good third of most everything living upon this Earth would have been killed off or traumatised well enough past the point of no return. That "true geology" specified date of 11,700 BP also sounds just about right on the money for the final lithobraking, ocean basin creating, antipode worthy and seasonal tilt causing arrival of our moon, which should have seriously kicked all sorts of planetology as well as human butt upon its icy arrival. At the very least the near miss of such an icy proto-moon should have been downright interesting, if not a touch lethal for a great many. There should also have been those significant teratonne spacebergs of moon ice falling upon Earth for a few thousands of years past the time of that initial glancing blow. BTW; there's still nothing contained in any bible or koran, as reasonably interpreted to our environment having that moon as of prior to 10,000 BC (12,007 BP), or even of somewhat earlier or perhaps a bit more recently. When exactly was the first humanly made record of our moon? What do you folks think about complex intelligent ET life, as for such having survived their extended interstellar trek, as safely coexisting within a few of those proto-moon ice caves? (I know that even I could do as much [how about yourself?]) Within such a deep enough icy moon cave (assuming all the way down to the moon's surface) would have accommodated all the essential elements for survival, including sufficient isolation from the bad sorts of cosmic and solar radiation, and otherwise having provided loads of easily accessible O2 for sustaining our kind of frail DNA/RNA. I'm thinking our moon could have been covered by as much as a 262 km thick layer of salty ice, of which obviously lost much of its icy load upon encountering Earth, and especially that of our 1AU nearby solar energy would have summarily evaporated and/or having solar wind extracted all such vapors of salty ice that wasn't otherwise safely sequestered underground. That pesky GW traumatising moon of ours is still in the process of losing the remainders of its naked surface element of sodium. (not nearly enough gravity nor having a magnetosphere as to otherwise prevent the loss of such ice and sodium) Too bad the faith-based souls of this Earth are so afraid of their own shadows. Too bad we still haven't accomplished the Earth/moon science platform as efficiently station-keeping itself within the moon's L1. Too bad we're headed directly for WWIII over the remains of the affordably accessible worth of global energy domination (including yellowcake). Too bad that so many innocent folks have paid the ultimate price, with lots more about to pay their's (especially nasty if being Muslim is their only option within their established family traditions). - Brad Guth

Our extremely massive and nearby moon is still measurably salty, and Mars simply is not nearly salty enough for supposedly having been within the same life viable realm of space. Mars has simply not hardly indicating as though ever having been a salty planet, and it's otherwise indicating as being much older than Earth. What gives? I happen to agree with "Andrew Nowicki", that not one but many significant impacting events must have morphed, iced down and otherwise having so extensively salted the surface of Earth. Of course, there's no such absolute proof that Earth originated within this solar system, and there's even less proof pertaining to that of our salty moon. Mars seems nearly dead to the core and thereby much older than Earth, and Venus seems more than a little extra hot to the core and thereby much less old than Earth. What gives?

A good number of raw elements are no longer situated where they are supposed to be, as having too much here and simply not enough there. Looking off-world for such raw elements or clean energy simply isn't a viable option unless our moon's L2 can first become fully utilized for all it's worth, and lord knows our NASA isn't about to let that happen. If in fact little old and nearly frozen to the core Mars had once upon a time been a very wet orb (say a billion+ years ago seems worthy enough); where's the salt? Is there such a thing as a freshwater planet, as thus far represented by what Mars used to be like, as opposed to a salty soil of so many near solid Na/sodium deposits and otherwise mostly a saltwater world as represented by Earth, that's only getting itself saltier by the eroson day and othewise by the lunar month that dumps a comet like trail of even more Na/sodium our way. Mars salt ? http://groups.google.com/group/sci.space.history/browse_frm/thread/f476068e9b2bf8c8/5b0cc2a2a8ad986d?lnk=st&q=mars+salt&rnum=1&hl=en#5b0cc2a2a8ad986d Or perhaps you'd like to share your best swag as to why Earth has way more than its fair share of salt, and getting a touch saltier by each lunar month, as well as our having been artificially as well as natural eroding ourselves to death, insuring that even more salt is on its way. The following is topic related, but more of an energy and survival rant by Guth: Remember, the toaster and sootier we manage in making our environment go GW postal, and of that pesky element of sodium starts getting suspended into a greater worth of our surface and lower most atmospheric environment that's already going co2 acidic and otherwise dead-zone on us, whereas much like co2 running off the charts, too much salt added to this ongoing co2 trauma will eventually kill just about anything that can't quickly evolve or manage to locate to higher ground (especially if we're all given the only option of a damp and stormy future environment of thermal and pressure extremes, whereas this analogy is clearly where too much salt on deck is yet another seriously bad news sort of thing to add to our nasty co2 above and below deck thing). The likes of drought stricken Australia building those multi million m2 solar energy and seawater evaporation farms isn't exactly going to help lower the surface salt content enough if at all to benefit against whatever reductions in co2 (especially since there's no good reason for their energy needs as not being derived mostly via nuclear), as either element of Na or Co2 is nearly as bad as the other if left to the ongoing demise of our surface environment. This is starting to suggest a terrestrial population maximum of perhaps 1e10, and without sufficient clean energy to go around (much less affordable food), is not exactly going to make us into happy campers. A future of 1e3 watts/soul = 1e13 watts/Earth, whereas 10 terawatts of continuous energy extraction is going to become a tough sell unless most of that is via renewable alternatives, and resolved as such long before getting to that insurmountable point of no possible return. Fortunately, there are existing and entirely affordable solutions that do not have to include big-energy or for the most part would not involve nuclear except for roughly 10% of our global energy demand that's isolated or otherwise off-grid. - Brad Guth

Earth being as wet and salty as it is; Where's the Mars salt? Come on you silly folks, tell us where all of that Mars salt is hidden. It's called "share and share alike", or "to tell the truth", that Mars is older than Earth and likely of a somewhat different origin than Earth, as perhaps the same can be said of Venus, in that all the best available science is actually telling us that it's somewhat less old than Earth. - Brad Guth

Now that's certainly a good little Jewish Third Reich minion's worth of a topic contribution. In other words, just like Hitler or that of your resident LLPOF warlord(GW Bush), you've got absolutely nothing that's honestly worth sharing.

What silly flames are they talking about? Venus does have a great many active lava and geothermally forced mud flows to deal with, as well as those nifty S8 gas vents that by rights should be extremely above the thermal consideration of whatever's merely toasty. The one thing that unusually dry and hot Co2/S8 environment most likely doesn't have is open flame, any more so than being the least bit corrosive unless you're planning upon doing a little mud-flow walking in your Ovglove jumpsuit. At least Venus has something geothermal cooking within (256 fold more so than Earth), and otherwise unlimited amounts of easily obtained energy that's above the surface, and having that surface environment which is rather nicely shielded against those bad kinds of solar or cosmic energy influx, as well as extensively moderating whatever's physically arriving, whereas the only spendy sorts of 'footsteps to Mars' are those of the dumbfounded and soon to be dead astronauts walking (perhaps before they ever get there). I'm afraid that we don't actually get all that much NASA bang for a mere trillion hard earned dollars or euros these badly inflated days, therefore doing Mars is going to be little more than an artificial black hole where our hard earned money, resources and best available talent goes in and nothing ever comes back out. At least Venus comes close enough to being classified as a worthy NEO, at merely 100 fold the distance of our moon, and that's actually damn close for something that nearly the mass of Earth, and somewhat tidal locked to boot. - Brad Guth

That's exactly what I say. Mars must have been a mostly freshwater planet (w/o salt), and otherwise mostly an icy one at that unless going way back into the geothermal forced era when there was more of its core heat per m2 than solar influx, and of also having that viable magnetosphere to work with. How much older than Earth is Mars? - Brad Guth

On what planet do you think I need any help on this one? You are the kook avoiding answering the questions. Are you ready to admit when you keep mewling crap like "got salt" you mean "got sodium?" Are you ready to admit your inability to realise the difference between "salt" and "sodium?" Do you need help? > How does it feel being so all alone in the universe > that's limited to whatever fits between your infomercial spewing butt- > cheeks? Wow. Interesting visual imagery aside, is this supposed to be some sort of insult? Or just a stream of gibberish?

Which MIB shadow(s) are you afraid of this time around? Not only has Mars lost its salt, but most of its fresh water has been gone as well. In my book that's more than a little odd for such a capable planet that's well within the life zone of Sol (same viable zone as Earth and even Venus). - Brad Guth

You silly folks do like to divert a given topic, by playing word games, don't you. What would actually happen to you or others of your kind, if you folks actually shared an honest thought that was 100% on topic and otherwise honestly constructive? (death by MIB?) Are you merely afraid of the whole truth and nothing but the truth? Unlike this typically racist and otherwise bigoted usenet (as easily interpreted from most all of their past and current Usenet posted replies), I sort of like most any reasonably open mindset, even if it's faith-based. Why exactly is your mindset so terribly status quo and otherwise closed and/or simply so entirely naysay worthy? - Brad Guth

NO, as actually it's you silly folks that'll have to do better, a whole lot better, especially since thus far your Mars has hardly its fair share of salt (perhaps as little as 1% of whatever it should have). Why is salt limited as to Earth and that of our unusually massive, nearby and sodium spewing moon? > > Ideally we'd set up some sort of drilling rigs at some point, and > bore holes at various points in the Martian or Venusian surface.

I agree, and for how many hundreds of billions and perhaps yet another iffy decade is that worth, finding underground water-ice or perhaps simply pockets of dry-ice or that of some weird gas, as though the likes of Mars and that of our icy proto-moon came in from the cold of an interstellar trek, or is it that perhaps we'd arrived from a very wet and salty place, yet unknown. > > One can also envision seismographic monitoring (there's already stuff > looking for moonquakes, courtesy of the non-existent moon missions).

Say what?
I respond when I choose to respond. You use Google; I use TeraNews.
Obviously you've not yet mastered the intricacies of the
store/forward/publish/subscribe system that is UseNet.

More like napkin calculation parameters in my case. I suppose I could
look up the Russian missions and calculate a more precise value for the
amount of propellant/energy required. I'm not sure there's much point.

I'd like to know where you get the notion that:
[a] the Moon is salty, and
[b] Mars is not.
Especially since there are so many forms of salts, especially if one
goes into the organic realm. One salt, for instance, is baking soda;
it's a combination of sodium and the acid/ketone (HO)2C=O, which is
close to formic acid (HCOOH) and oxalic acid (COOH)2, but isn't
either one.

Google Groups has been pretty unreliable the past few days. Because he thinks usenet is the same as Google Groups (don't bother trying to dissuade him of this notion), he translates this into a conspiracy to silence his vital information about the Moon, Mars, Venus, and salt by inserting various forms of virii into his poor little PC (aka "malware/spermware/fuckware in Guth-speak). > >> >> Why are the mostly Jewish folks of this infomercial spewing Usenet so >> afraid of their own shadows? > >Why are you so afraid of those who profess the Jewish faith? >Are they that dangerous with their yarmulkes and three-piece suits? > >(Disclaimer: I'm an atheist.)

Yeah, but his Venus Lagrange 2 point idea isn't too bad as an idea.
Not that I see much practicality, admittedly, but then there wasn't
all that much practicality in going to the moon in the 60's, either;
it was scientific research and the notion to boldly go where no man
had gone before.
And we did. (Cost 1/4 of our GDP back then, too.)
However, absent some major technological boost to our rocket exhaust
velocity (chemical rockets have poor performance but lots of thrust),
it's going to be expensive to get into space no matter what we do.

I believe this is a flawed assertion. The hard limit on launch costs is the
cost of fuel and oxidizer since that would be your only reoccurring cost for
a reusable launch vehicle. And if you do the math, the cost of fuel and
oxidizer for a LOX/kerosene launch vehicle isn't bad at all.

Ion drives have nice high v_e but very low thrust, for example. The best I can do is boil water a la Asimov using a nuclear pile, and such rockets would have to be huge and very high pressure. You probably remember the Cassini mission (which is now happily orbiting Saturn; AFAIK there's no aliens out there complaining about the plutonium canisters whose radioactive decay is used as a power source :-) ). A nuclear reactor would generate even more heat -- and not for the purpose of producing lifting thrust. -- #191, ewill3@earthlink.net "Woman?
