A chemist ignoring the effects of ionizing radiation...

I've never proposed "inhabiting" the Moon - just setting up a man tended observatory there - on the surface, using the lunar regolith to bury a supply pressure vessel could provide enough shelter against radiation, and wrapping the water tanks around part of the living compartment of the lunar orbit fueling station should do it for lunar orbit - and then it's only a 3 day run to Earth from the Moon - with a heat shield between the crew and the radiation source -

Previous problems in dating and with chronologies are well known - as is the fact that the Rio Cuarto impactor came in low and set the surface of the Earth on fire under its path -
