Mining the moon, and where I am am currently

 

It's been a little bit since I've done a blog, so I wanted to touch base and talk about a fun topic. So, lets see what mining the moon is all about. 

Where I'm At Now

First I want to get you caught up to where I am personally right now. It has been five months now tomorrow since I lost my buddy, the Christed Buddha. It has been a very rough road, but I have done my best to process my loss, and grief, and move forward step by step in the new reality that I have in my life. In addition to being in a new place with my grieving process, I have also come to the conclusion that finding a job right now, in the field that I received my diploma in, while desired, may not manifest right away. At least not until we are on the other side of all of this "propaganda" that the system is pushing about this "virus". That wraps up where I am for the most part personally. Now on to the fun stuff. 

 

Trump Signs Executive Order

Yes, you read the title of this blog correctly, mining the moon. In fact, believe it or not, back in April, president Trump signed and executive order to get the ball rolling on mining the moon. In my mind, when humanity got to the year 2020, I envisioned flying cars, vacations to mars, and inter solar system travel. Yet, here we are still driving fossil fuel vehicles, using coal for energy, and still using cash as a medium of exchange for goods and services. So, "mining the moon" may be a small step in the direction of a more "star trek" type of reality. 

 

Mining The Moon

According to the article, we are going to the moon to mine "water ice and other lunar resources". I never really thought about going to the moon to mine for water, and other lunar resources, but it's an interesting idea. I'm ready to start seeing the enterprise star ship in the news every day, and be informed about it's adventures out in deep space. Maybe I'll see that when I get old. But, who knows. 

Lots Going On

If we look at some of the interesting events that have taken place in the past few years, we have someone that sent their car into space, we have the pentagon declassifying actual UFO footage, among other situations happening. So, things seem to be moving forward, just slowly. Or, slowly for me.

The Moon

I thought I would change pace a little with this blog and talk about something fun and different. So, I have chosen to discuss the moon today, because I enjoy photographing it, this is my own personal pic above, and my buddy recently posted something about the stars on his blog.

What Is The Moon?

Now, lets talk about the Moon. What IS the moon? How did the moon get there? Why do we only see one side of it? All good questions to ask. What the moon is, other then the obvious answer of being a satellite of the earth, has been the subject of conversations for many decades. Generally speaking, it seems to be basically a big chunk of what was left of the "big bang" when our galaxy was formed. Moon rocks were brought back from at least one of the Apollo missions. I'm not privy to what exactly NASA, and whoever funds them, found out when they studied the rocks. Suffice it to say, as of this writing, that humanity has not been made aware of what our scientists have found out about the moon rocks, and what their make up is. 

How Did It Get There?

How did the moon get to be in it's current orbit? From what I understand, once all of the material that makes the moon up cooled, it settled into an orbit around the earth. However, for reasons I'm not completely sure about, the moon does not rotate like the earth, thus, we earthlings only see one side of the moon, unless your an astronaut of some kind, and travel out past the moon to see the other side.

My Take On The Moon

I have always been drawn to the moon, which is why I enjoy taking photos of it when I can. I find it unique, and interesting because of all of the anomalies that it exhibits. For example, if the moon formed about the same time as the earth did, with the same kind of materials, why doesn't it rotate, or have an atmosphere? Also, why have we not been back to the moon since our early exploration missions? Did our government discover something up there that they don't want us knowing about? Are there beings of some kind that have occupied the moon, and told us not to come back? I'm just thinking out loud here, as it were.

At any rate, I will probably always enjoy looking at the moon, and studying it for as long as I'm on this blue ball. Feel free to comment below, and share your own information or questions about our one and only natural satellite.
