That's funny you came back with a link from moon Miner. He is in full support of Lagrange. He is are also looking hard into the uses of Luner He3.
You might also want to look at this http://www.moon-mine.com/index.htm .
The gov of India is also very interested in the HE3.
It has been estimated there is enough HE3 on the surface of the moon to meet the worlds energy needs for 1000 years.
I need to get a hold of that guy on moonmine.com . He's really fixed that site up even though it still looks like a 1 man army. But then that's what Lagrange City the beginning was intended for. His work looks like Bill Wrights work. Bill was going to be the writer here, but he passed on to that spaceship in the sky without telling anyone he was leaving.
Here We Go, Helium3 in lunar soil....Pretty small amounts, but there are other items of value. (Metals)
http://www.moonminer.com/Lunar_regolith.html
Seems to me I read a science fiction novel, set in a lunar enviroment mining helium3 for fuel in fusion-reactors. I never did any searches to find out if there actually is helium3 in lunar regolith....Anyone know?

Helium 3 article

they have more than one (I think).....look at the link I posted, at the top is a picture.....I guess it sort of looks like a Hershey kiss....
Yep, that's it. It's been awhile since I've seen it. I thought they were the ones with the cone and flag on top.
I thought it looked more like a big can, but yeah, I believe it's in the Canadian boondocks.....

they pretend to be on Mars, and can only go outside in suits during the simulation, all that......gives you a good idea how tough Mars will actually be, because I know I saw a number of times where they said something like "we would have just died if this was Mars!"
Is that one that looks like a big chocalate kiss sitting up in the Canadian tundra ?
I'm not a member, but I used to be in the planetary society.....
I just read the Mars Society web site sometimes......and like to watch Zubrin when he's on the Science Channel, etc, living in their Mars simulator......
I have a lot more work to do here before I send the invites out. Besides I think it's best I wait till things cool off over the Obama annoucements. Since you are a member of the Mars Society, I'd be honored if you hosted a board for the U S chapter and maybe invited them here.
that's where a big scope comes in handy.....anyway, waiting for weather to clear, and get another peak at Mars.....
I know but I always wanted to look for hot spots at the bottom of Hellas Basin. The mouth of Marines valley and the Century system.
actually, for solar, you don't need a big scope, the daytime atmospheric turbulence just makes higher resolution a moot point, for the most part.....
BTW, that pic was with a little Meade ETX90, a 3.5 inch instrument (small scope, but great optics).....
I'll get it into an Ibox for you. I'd be proud of it too. I've never gotton pictures of mar or jupiter that I was happy with. I think it's because of my locations and not having a 13" scope. LOL
Inches, that lets you know how long I've been wanting one.
feel free, just give me credit, lol......BTW, I have already posted it a few times on I-hub, since its like the best shot I ever got in many years of observing.....
thx, the limb darkening makes it stand out, and look 3D.....
BTW, I took many pics, that is my best one.....nothing phony about it except some image processing to improve contrast and stuff....
PS: I also used a yellow filter, the sun doesn't normally look that yellow in a scope without it.....
I'm going to find a place for it so other people can view it.
That's fantastic quality. I can see detail around the horizen too.
I was member of both the Mars society and the planetary society untill I figure out they were kissing butt with Nasa and they new it was one of Nasa's primary objectives to keep humans from going to Mars. But I think they're ready to jump ship and join the Alliance. At least the Mars Society.
I've alredy been in touch with the Canadian Mars Society and they're thinking about coming here and doing there own board.
wow, looks like you have outdone me......
I agree with the Lagrange stepping stone.....and would like to see something like that in my time.....
PS: great time for observing Mars, I got a Meade 'scope......
What really has the forums going is he gave contract to the private companies totaling around 4 bil, but it saves Nasa around 10bil, maybe more.
I have a whole wall of books on mars. I have a teloscope just for looking at mars. Proposed lacations for mars colonies, copies of the Mars scocieties plans for a coloney.
Langrange city was a compromise for me. It's needed for a Mars coloney and can be put in place befire I die.
that sucks......and for a fraction of the cost of a single bank bailout......
well, sooner or later it will happen.....
you ever read any of the Mars books by Kim Stanley Robinson????
PS: I believe there is even a part on telomere research in it, something Sax is into to extend lifespan with.....
Saxifrage "Sax" Russell
Mars trilogy character
Sax Russell
Position Head of Mars' Terraforming (co-figurehead of the Greens)
Hometown Boulder, Colorado
Birth ~1980
Death
Gender male
Political Affiliation First Hundred; Green
An American physicist, he is a brilliant and creative scientist, and is greatly respected for his intellectual gifts. However, he is socially awkward and often finds it difficult to understand and relate to other people. Russell is a leader of the Green movement, the goal of which is to terraform Mars. During Green Mars, Sax suffers a stroke while being tortured by government security forces and fellow member of the First Hundred, Phyllis Boyle. He subsequently suffers from Broca's aphasia and has to relearn how to speak. Originally apolitical, this event and a growing attachment to Mars itself leads Russell to become the physical architect of the second revolution. He is also secretly in love with Ann Clayborne, who cannot stand him at first but, after decades on Mars, eventually reconciles. Saxifrage means "stonebreaker" and is the name for an Alpine plant that grows between stones.

You do know Obama cancelled the Ares and Constilation ?
No problem. after what I've been through the last couple days I'm conditioned to jump.
The Marssociety is on the list of invitations to join us here.
OK, was a simple misunderstanding.....which I get, becasue I can be a wise-ass at times......
anyway, I'm a huge supporter of anything to do with space, real, planned, or in the imagination......
(I only have read over 500 SF books, maybe I'll post a pic of my library)
The site admin just took me off "all post pre-approved, none shorter than 750 words with supporting links "

PS: great books

Wasn't sure, I've been beat on all day. Everyone is having fun with the pump/bash party over there.
wow, don't know where that came from.......I'm all for space exploration, manned or not......private or not.....
maybe you thought I was being sarcastic about being a SF fan???.......
(Google my alias)
So, why don't you want people going into space.
no, not at all......sorry, thought I had hit it.....
edit: done for sure now....
You must be against the private Space movement. No board mark.
That is not a picture of Lagrange City. Thats a picture of the LEO station. I don't have access to Lagrange right now.
hopefully, that would be cool.....BTW, I believe the space station is too close to Earth to be at a Lagrange Point in the I-box pic......
Pretty much, but this is about to become reality.
hey JB, errr, I mean Admiral, are you a big SF fan??????
Yes, but that's actually the wrong picture. That's the up coming LEO station. L City is on the other PC. But even it's not right. I'm waiting to here from someone Europe, Hopefully he'll have a more accurate picture. but he doesn't normally respond till around 4am our time.

This is not a picture of Lagrange City. I don't have one yet.
The purpose of Lagrange City The Begining is to bring as many of the small groups of people to gether as I can, who believe in Humans in Space.
All the groups have there own ideas of what they want to do in space. But the one thing that all the groups need is a logistics center.
Lagrange City will initially comprise of 2 things, Lagrange Enterprises and Lagrange Logistics.
How do you get the funding and how do you get it there ?
Buy a Bigelow Sundance module and LL will drop ship it.
