MOON - THEE

"Moon-Thee"
The Moon, it has been orbiting the Earth for as long as almost before time, is it there for looks or is it there for a specific reason? Ever since people lived on the Earth the moon has always been up there, in the sky, some people thought it was heavenly and other people thought it could harbor bad omens. In medieval times priests were also the astronomers and they would explain lunar happenings and no attempt was made to separate astronomy from religion. Although many scientists had proved that the moon was actually made of matter Astronomy was revolutionized in the second half of the 19th-century by techniques based on photography and the spectroscope, but this still did not change some people’s beliefs of the spiritual aspects of the moon.
Scientifically the moon is the single natural satellite of the Earth, its average distance from Earth as it orbits around it is 240,000 miles. The moon’s diameter is about 2160 miles and its crust is about 45 miles thick making the moon more rigid and solid to a greater depth than the Earth, it’s mass is 1/81 the mass of the Earth and is 3/5 as dense.
Sure the moon looks beautiful for us here from Earth but is it just a coincidence that one side always faces in the other direction into space? We here in society’s modern age have made many predictions about the space-age, I have a few predictions too that may sound profound hearing them for the first time but here’s one that you may find very interesting. Let me start with this; since one side of the moon always faces away from the Earth the possibility exists that storing nuclear material there could shield us from the dangers that they may impose by keeping them here on Earth and even by chance if there was a disaster the moon‘s natural gravitational field would contain a meltdown. Although it may be some time before we are actually able to transport these heavy elements there it would be to our advantage if we could focus on this extensively because keeping them on the moon could reduce the possibility of unwanted weapons produced that could be used in wartime, but on a more productive note this arrangement makes the possibility of putting a Nuclear Reactor on the moon something that may be seen in the comparatively near future. I would like to be part of this grand design, that maybe GOD composed, as much as the many other countries that would like to have ECONOMIC futures and their share of capitalism and peace; so to me also the moon looks beautiful and alluring with the majesty our astronauts convey as they look back towards our Earth.
The time is right now to hire engineers and scientists to design the project and implement the millions of people that it will take to expediently organize this effort for a bright energy future and our common goals to take care of our Earth, fading spirits and the masses. I see this as a goldmine basically because I can imagine the billions of parts that would need to be machined, the ability to hire an almost unlimited number of workers to see this plan to fruition and a good reason to stay in school! PS: I'm writing this as a toast to the space-age and the future, IMAGINE!
My design ideas of a space-ship use some of the same engineering techniques as a Locomotive Train Engine. Instead of a Diesel Engine you would use a small Nuclear Powered system to generate electricity, just like a Locomotive Engine does to run the motors that turn the wheels. Instead of motors and wheels you have high-tech electro-magnets that oppose the earth's gravitational field and lift the ship away from the ground. Using enough power to the magnets they produce a magnetic field that is larger than many football fields in size and lift the relatively small object, ship, into space. With enough technology even the Sun's magnetic field can be used for navigation.
