Lunar Space elevator (delivering non-reactive lunar soil to moon L1
for a cash of nonreactive shielding)
I must say that I've learned so much from the likes of Jay Windley, as
to how refreshingly warm, fuzzy and friendly, and of such low cosmic
and galactic radiation there is in space, not to mention that our
Astronauts seem to be the one and only ones knowing of how to evade
the bulk nasties of the Van Allen zone of death as well as extended
EVAs.

Since our resident space radiation wizard (Jay Windley) is so
absolutely correct about just about everything there is to know, where
one of his most recent discoveries is having to do with all that bone
dry yet so thoroughly clumping lunar soil, that which not only
reflects light at roughly 5 times greater if you're standing on the
moon as opposed to otherwise being viewed from Earth or imaged by the
likes of Hubble, but that this terrific lunar stuff is also the one
and only radioactively inert or nonreactive resource of matter that's
incapable of creating any significant amounts of secondary radiation.
So, since this clumping lunar dirt is that invaluable, such as for
creating a shield filler or buffer zone for any manned space travel
related missions, I was just thinking (always a bad sign), that the
real elevator payback may not be for any Earth/L2+ elevator but, more
than likely as a lunar/L1 elevator, configured with a sufficient
robotic surface screw pump capable of delivering that lunar soil up to
L1+ orbit, so that our next manned mission (say to frozen and
irradiated to death Mars) can sort of do a lunar/L1 pit-stop at our
moon elevator (LL1) station, and simply go about filling up their
voids between the inner and outer hull with as little as 0.1 meter
worth of depth, or I believe that's 34.1 g/cm2, which would be at
least 5 times better off then the bulk of what was surrounding our
radiation proof hybrid Apollo astronauts, that had to make do with
considerable amounts of secondary radiation inflicted by the mere
density of aluminum.
According to wizard Jay, this nearly immeasurable secondary radiation
coming off the lunar deck is also become another win-win for my lunar
SAR/VLA plans;

Here's something other that I've offered in reply to what Jay Windley
and his good buddy Jonathan Silverlight proposed.
Thanks ever so much to Jonathan Silverlight, for your terrific
feedback, as I'll certainly apply such logic in future corrections,
that's of your essentially correcting the likes of Wizard Jay Windley,
as pertaining to lunar mass offering "almost immeasurably small"
secondary radiation, thus obviously such would be providing a highly
preferable shield element to that of aluminum and, I'll even offer his
name (Jay Windley) as bonafide credit for such insight, unless that's
cutting too much of yourself out of the action.
Unfortunately, I've recently imposed another tit for tat that's most
likely as equally in error for regarding Earth L4/L5, in order to
further extrapolate what's at Venus L2 (VL2), so even though VL2 may
have a roasty/toasty 6^2 Sv/y (solar minimum) worth of primary
radiation to start off with. Hells bells, it sounds like if we stop by
the moon for a little of that soil we ott to be able to long-term
tolerate that VL2 environment with hardly 0.1 meter of lunar soil,
after all that's 34.1 g/cm2, or way more than 6 times as much as the
overall Apollo mission average, even though I believe an upper limit
of 274 mrem/day is tolerable for a two year stint, especially if
you've got banked bone marrow as backup. The fact that this relatively
small amount of density may not cut it is somehow, by Lord Windley
standards, immaterial as long as we utilize cloned hybrid astronauts
such as those Apollo types.
Come to think of it; If in fact the likes of statements by Jay
Windley are the least bit correct in stipulating that such lunar mass
(3.41 g/cc) offers such immeasurable secondary radiation, then what
the hell have we been waiting for?
Lets get ourselves back onto the moon the very next time we ever
decide to go anywhere, sort of making it a lunar pit-stop, then simply
filling up the cavity or voids between the inner and outer hull with
clumping lunar soil, whereas even though the lunar soil is
considerably more dense than aluminum and in spite of what the laws of
physics have to say, at least according to our Wizard Windley, there's
hardly any measurable secondary radiation to be had.
This remarkable discovery alone had ott to be worth hundreds of
billions and, it'll only cause us to recall and republish millions of
textbooks and research references pertaining to radiation and
subsequent interactions with various densities of mass, thereby
greatly discrediting the merits of hydrogen as being of least X-Ray
generating by way of merely replacing that element with
clumping-moon-dust as becoming the ultimate solution for all future
missions, including benefitting ISS that's tried just about everything
in the book, spending hundreds of millions if not billions at
suppressing their secondary radiation, without all that much luck I
might say.
Talk about the ultimate gold mine of motherload discoveries; whereas
this absolutely bone dry yet clumping-moon-dust has got to be it, the
holy grail of nonreactive matter that's capable of not only shielding
our butts, whereas best of all is being that we don't even have to
create nor launch an once of it from Earth. In fact, having such a
cash of this nifty stuff situated on the moon is almost too good to be
true, as the lunar gravity is but 1/6th that of Earth and, situating
our spacecraft or some robotic lunar soil retriever down onto the
lunar surface ott to be a sure thing (only 10 mrem/day getting
ourselves there is another bonus, being that we now know, according to
Wizard Windley, how to avoid most of the Van Allen zone of death and,
since we've acquired better speed as well as improved radiation
shielding to start off with, plus the fact that we'll not require any
external EVAs, just a portable screw pump tossed onto the surface and
a filling hose) and, getting all that additional mass back off the
lunar surface should also be another snap, after all, we've come a
long ways in fly-by-wire rocketry, as well as in overall thrust
capability as well as reliability. Just looking at the CHALLENGER,
COLUMBIA, even the V-22 Osprey and any number of easier to accomplish
successful aerodynamic adventures and you can't hardly imagine
anything going wrong and, certainly not by the trusty words of our
very own wizard Jay Windley.
If I've gotten something wrong, please do help me out, feel free to
letting me know what's what (by the numbers and of any way you'd like
those numbers to be represented), as I for one am in total awe of what
the likes of these pro-Apollo wizards have to say, as subsequently
nearly all of our future space travel concerns have been answered in
spades.
OK,,, so I'm not entirely convinced, but then I'm still the village
idiot that's seeing all sorts of strange things on the surface of
Venus that supposedly aren't there.
