      From: rick.jones2@hp.com              Assuming it would work and the dust wouldn't be too radio active and       one could retrofit however many scores of satelites would be affected       and you didn't trigger some sort of "Space: 1999" scenario, blasting       Lunar dust into Earth's atmosphere would seem to be at most a one-shot       or N-shot thing and not sustainable - there is only so much Moon up       there and if you mess with it too much you will affect its orbit an/or       the Earth's tides and such.              Unless the root cause of Earth's warming is the quanity of sunlight       reaching the surface, it is also only treating symptoms.              rick jones       --       denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance, rebirth...        where do you want to be today?       these opinions are mine, all mine; HP might not want them anyway... :)       feel free to post, OR email to rick.jones2 in hp.com but NOT BOTH...              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
