psychoceramics: Archimedes Plutonium horning in on Abian

[Bruce Ediger <bediger @ csn.net>]

Two usenet kooks that previously were in different orbits may now be
on an inevitable collision course.  Looks like Archimedes Plutonium
is moving in on Alexander Abian's terraforming territory.

[1] Moon; HARVEST PROJECT-nuking astro bodies to make Earth2
Date: Sat Sep 27 11:36:31 MDT 1997
Organization: PLutonium College

The Moon will be one of the first astro bodies to be rearranged. AS of
this writing, NASA has never done any really important projects. With
the start of HARVEST PROJECT, NASA will slowly take over the major
issue of United States politics. NASA will become the centerpiece issue
of the US and the world for that matter. Because with NASA is the road
to HARVEST PROJECT and that is the major proportion of humanities
future. The New World of Columbus and 1492 was the major issue 500
years ago. The new frontier and new world of the future is the Solar
System.

  Imagine the world if another planet , just like Earth existed and
owned by say Japan or Russia. This entire planet is easy to get to and
is inhabited completely by Japanese or by Russians. Here on Earth1 the
US would no longer be the #1 superpower. And although Spain discovered
the New World, it was England and France that colonialized the New
World.

  In the Harvest Project, the moon will be one of the first, or early
astro bodies that is moved or changed. What is the optimal use of the
moon? Well, it would be nice if it were habitable right now. But it has
no water, no air or magnetic field to shield from the dangerous Sun's
radiation. One use would be to mine it and bring the ores to Earth.

  But I think the best use would be to bring all of the moon right down
to Earth. In the asteroid belt there exist quite a few number of
dumbbell shaped asteroids. These came about through "soft collisions"
where two asteroids softly bumped into one another and stuck in a
dumbbell shaped object. The Moon likewise can be slowly made to
approach Earth via precise asteroid H-bombed collisions into the Moon.
The Moon is moving away from us at a rate of 1 cm per year. Via
asteroid collisions we can force the Moon to come closer to Earth at a
average rate of a kilometer per year, until the Moon is given a
asteroid collision that it makes a soft landing touch with our Pacific
Ocean. Of course all of the people of the pacific region are evacuated.

--  The end result is that the Moon and Earth forms a new Earth, call it
Earth2 and is a dumbbell shaped Earth. The new Moon will be covered
with water by suction and the new Moon will by suction have a
atmosphere. The magnetic field of the Earth will change to encompass
the Moon and Earth2 will be fully habitable.

 The asteroid 3753 which comes into Earth's orbit can be nuked to force
the Moon closer to us.
