Not enough time to do much blogging. Now that everything is out of the way, just want to share a thought.
The thought is that it is possible to use the moon as a launching point for missions to Mars or Venus. The reason is that it takes much less energy to get to escape velocity. Not only that, with the long periods of sunshine, it could be possible to build up a lot of current for something like a mass driver. There may be a possibility for an innovative way to launch under such conditions.
If not, perhaps a mass driver could be used. The point is if you could either launch without using fuel, or get through the shallow gravity well, it may make more sense to launch from the moon than from earth.
