mediaphage posted:they're talking about the phenomenon known as a moonbow, which happens on earth, in moonlight. it's a myth that it "only happens" at certain locations. famously, cumberland falls in kentucky likes to tout that fact. Dang me your right. That seems obvious and not really about the moon but light and water in general. I bet there's way cooler moon facts. Like about nazis living on the dark side or something.

I think we should wait for ALL of the facts to come in before making any decisions regarding the moon. There are simply too many “loose ends” if you will

FACT: The moon does not emit light, moonlight is simply reflected sunlight. FACT: Many believe that the lunar soil has unique alchemical properties due to the way that the effect of sunlight on magical creatures, such as werewolves and vampires, is altered when the light is bounced off of the moon first. However, this is incorrect, because magic and alchemy and werewolves and vampires are fake.

FACT: The most recent spaceship to visit the Moon did so just a few months ago. China's Chang'e 5 probe landed on the lunar surface in December 2020: (Huge version of this image) Then it scooped up some dirt samples, drilling as far as two meters down for them:  Then it blasted back off. Its reentry capsule returned to Earth a few days later:

Fact: The moon's surface is very very dark, about the same color and reflectance as a newly-paved asphalt parking lot. If it were polished white, it would appear roughly as bright at night as the sun does in the daytime. Only the fact that it's almost completely black with dust means it's as dim as it is (not very). All those pictures from the moon that appear very bright are because there is nothing at all attenuating the sun's light, so diffuse and specular light keeps the entire surface well-lit from every angle to any observer.

We know something of their properties on Venus, at least -- one of the old Soviet landers once managed to eject its lens cap exactly onto the only spot where its robot arm (for testing soil compressibility) could go. It turns out lens caps have very similar compressibility in space as they do on earth.

In all honesty moon dust is nasty as gently caress and will probably give unlucky moon base crews silicosis.

Lawman 0 posted:In all honesty moon dust is nasty as gently caress and will probably give unlucky moon base crews silicosis. Actual lung damage would be a pretty extreme case, but yeah, moon dust is going to be a pain to deal with. Mars dust may present problems too. A really promising idea to keep from tracking that poo poo into your nice clean ship is a concept called Suitport that the folks at NASA have been working on for a while. Instead of bringing your whole spacesuit inside with you, you "dock" the backpack part to a port on your ship/rover/base/whatever, swing the back open on a big hinge, and shimmy your way out through the back of the suit, leaving the filthy exterior of the suit outside. When you're going out again, just slide back into the suit, shut the backpack hatch and stroll off.  It's still new and experimental, but with some more development it can probably be made to be faster and easier than a traditional airlock, and with less losses of your atmosphere gases. And you even get to have your empty spacesuits standing guard outside like big spooky gargoyles.
