You do realize that RL didn't say what orbit. So let us make that one mute. Same with passing thru radiaiton belts.

As to radiation you not only get cosmic rays and solar flares but hard secondarys reflecting from the surface of the Moon.

OK! TIt's timne to end this cosmic bogeyman BS about the hazards of lunar dust. - Jacob Samorodin - 11/18/2006 6:49:05 PM

        I guess you'll just have to forgive Ken his ignorance of the topic, Chris (n/t) - E.P. - 11/25/2006 8:05:08 PM
        
        re:I think you're confused I doubt Ken is ignorant just focused in a totally positive direction toward lunar exploitation. It's a bit like Lunar CAPS and you. - Chris Vancil - 11/26/2006 6:31:24 AM
