Moon to have no-fly zones by month end Originally posted by Gigas at Open Minds (http://lucianarchy.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=ef&action=display&thread=10760)Keep back, nothing to see here. This is a moon no fly zone so keep your rocket exhaust nozzles away from spraying carbon based exhaust here.
Can you dig that, the nuts at NASA want to invoke a no fly zone on the moon. They don't want anyone to fly over there so called landing spots and disturb the historic value and maybe see somethings not right with the landing sights.
QuoteNo-fly zones will come into effect on the moon for the very first time by the end of this month! Why, even buffer zones that spacecraft may have to avoid will come into existence. The reason: avoiding any spraying of rocket exhaust or dust onto certain historical sites and artefacts on the moon.
The historical sites are of course the Apollo landing sites and artefacts present on the moon. And the "recommendations" are for preserving and protecting these historical sites. There are currently more than three dozen historical sites that preserve the more than four-decade-old remains.
"Apollo 11 and 17 sites [will] remain off-limits, with ground-travel buffers of 75 metres and 225 metres from each respective lunar lander," states the July 20 guidelines of NASA.

QuoteNo legal binding
According to Science, by the end of this month NASA is expected to come up with a set of "recommendations" for spacecraft and astronauts visiting the "U.S. government property on the moon." Of course, these recommendations will not be legally binding as the 1967 Outer Space Treaty makes it clear that the lunar surface has no owner.

Later this month, the agency plans to issue what it calls "recommendations" for spacecraft, or future astronauts, visiting U.S. government property on the moon.

I wonder just how they will enforce this no fly zone. No one nation owns the lunar surface. Maybe they will just make some sort of trouble for any private company (US) that may try and send a rover to check out what is really there. Tell me if I am wrong but I guess a private company would have to obtain permission to launch anyway. That no fly zone is not enforceable the way I see it. Hi Zorgon!

Robert Bigelow went to NASA to launch his Genisis space station modules. They refused so he bought into a old ICBM launch site in Russia and sent them up. The only way to enforce it is if indeed they DO have that NAVY space fleet up there...
But then they would have to show there hand if someone tries to run the blockade :D
A very well planned smoke and mirrored attempt to keep anyone going to the moon to stay off the faked landing sites. Of course the secret program may have setup dummy hardware to make it look like something happened during Apollo. Than again, they may just wave the left hand so you look over there and not over here. Simply, keep the secret hidden they never went up and landed. They went up, but up and then what.
NASA had all the screen props set in place to make the show believable here on earth. They know sooner or later someone from earth is gonna show up and see the mock up, er, I mean the landing sites with the props layed out, Or, you will see nothing.
Either way, its erie they throw down a no fly zone on the moon.
Well, with all the conversation's we have had over this becoming a reality Zorgon, it really doesn't surprise me. Bigelow going to Russia for launch silo's makes total sense, don't think they would allow him to have one in the USA that is operational.
We have discussed in great length of how there may very well be H3 and other possible alternative fuels ready for use once we had stationed ourselves for such colonization.
I for one "Know" we have made it to the moon, why there would be skeptics over this issue is beyond me, but it takes all kinds too make the world go round "I Guess?"
With the Advent of the X-37B experiments coming out of the closet, it would only make common sense that the space race is not at it's end, but only it's beginning. Whether it is a satellite repositioning vehicle or lunar orbiter, the fact is "It can realize Lunar occupation."
With all the evidences that are still out for food for thought of some very strange (Seemingly) structural places on the moon, and with some real archeological studies, we may very well be rewriting our knowledge of what we "Think" we know of our closest natural satellite.
To build a launch site on the moon with it's 1/6 gravity and zero gravity surrounding's makes the most "Perfect" place for a launch site for space exploration.
Not too mention the finds that would either confirm or disclose people's thought's, such as ours to these strange artifacts that are plainly visible to be there, on the surface of the moon, once and for all!
