This is cool
The Japs have been using fiber optics to pipe sunlight into office buildings... for at least 20 years...
I always thought that would be a good way to illuminate a moon base that was built underground to use the moon's soil as a radiation shield... but nobody ever listens to me.

This site mentions that we may want a base on the dark side because it's a better place for for astronomical observation, and because the dark side has cooler costumes and better lightsabers.
I might've made that last part up.
Which is exactly why fiber optics/sunlight is such a good fucking idea.Paul wrote:GORDON wrote:I always thought that would be a good way to illuminate a moon base

Moon base plans.
Saw that yesterday.
This should be interesting to watch.
You know, a few years back one of the space sites reported a countdown until a private telecope (not run by any government) was going online and the first mission was to look at the moon to see the flag and leftover lunar modules to prove we'd been there.
Has anyone ever heard if that occured? I still have a friend who believes 100% that we never reached the moon and that it was all done in a studio.

I think the minimum focal range of the Hubble is well beyond the distance to the moon, and the moon is probably too bright.
Hubble was built to watch dim things, from far far away.
