GLASSIFICATION OF THE MOONS SURFACE
- THE LOCALIZED GLASSIFICATION OF THE MOON'S SURFACE-
(ARK theory 2007)
In order to avoid the dirty, hazardous and powdery regolith that covers the surface of the moon, a mission must be made first to send up giant land-surface melting rods (electrodes - already used on earth to glassify toxic dirt sites 20 feet deep).
Then sections of Moon - an acre at a time - are rigged with these rods, which take several weeks to melt the entire local surface into a glass slab that holds all the toxic, dusty and caustic elements in. After cooling we can have flat landing surfaces that are clean and solid. Human spacesuits won't get dirty, craft parts and sensitive scientific instruments can be placed in these areas free of dust - and the lack of a lunar wind would create zones of regolith-free habitable acreage. The human colonists will be safer and the surface will be easier to work on. Permanent anchors can be fused into the heated glass to hold future Private or Governmental (Bigelow/NASA/Virgin Galactic/Space-X) project habitat modules.
Piece by piece a permanent colony can be created on top of this glassified surface. It makes a lot of sense to eliminate the main problem with moon habitation - the dusty regolith - aside from avoiding meteor impacts. Engineering missions around this solid homebase is the only way to ensure a stable foundation on such an inhospitable terrain.
Another benefit to heat-melting the Moon's surface is that useful oxygen can be extracted from it during this process.
Meteorites already generate enough heat to melt dust particles. This melting and freezing welds particles together into glassy fragments. An indicator of what can be replicated, and similar to the result of a nuclear blast in a dessert - the glassification of earth - but long term heating is used instead to reliably create customized safe work surfaces.
The idea is to replicate nature on a massive scale and use it for infrastructure while eliminating the localized threat of toxic particulate matter.
Toxic-to-human elements radon-222 and polonium-210 have already been detected in lunar orbit. On several Apollo missions, enhanced levels of radon-222 and polonium-210 emissions were observed as part of the regolith.
Glassification of the surface of the moon, like making glass on Earth, is an existing technology that eliminates the greatest hurdles to man operating on the moon. Robots can come and go (permanently), but stability of a communal human nature requires thinking about their lives 100 to 200 years down the road. We can't make mistakes now!
DARPA grant anyone? Let's do this.
