Re: insanity
if you were a skilled engineer, or skilled in space architectures, then your opinion might amount to more than words... but neither case applies...

I actually do happen to be an engineer, but that's irrelevant.
The issue is YOUR repeated yet unsubstantiated claim that a moon base is the most efficacious method of detecting NEOs. You keep repeating it with the same (null) result. That is insanity.
Meanwhile over the years both Larry J and I among others have enumerated cogent reasons why for example a L point observatory has advantages of a dusty, day/night cyles lunar surface base.
