Militarizing the Moon

 

I wrote two weeks ago about the new "space rush", see: http://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2021/12/richplanet-tv-on-aatip.html. Since then another document has come to light called A Primer on Cislunar Space. It is American and produced by the Air Force Research Laboratory's Space Vehicles Directorate. It is aimed at "military space professionals", Space Force guardians in other words, and provides a technical assessment of space navigation for future missions. "Cislunar space" means the space between the earth and the moon, which orbits at a distance of 238,000 miles. It has been assumed up till now that military strategy in space concerns low earth orbit, the region where nearly all satellites and space stations can be found. Most of these are well below the geosynchronous range of 22,236 miles where an orbital period is exactly twenty-four hours so that a satellite positioned at that altitude over the equator will remain static at the relative zenith. However it seems that operation planners are setting their sights on more distant targets, in the same way foreign colonies on earth were dragged in European conflicts during the imperial age of the 18th and 19th centuries. More countries than ever are launching rockets and many are establishing space forces. It is only a matter of time before there will be a multinational scramble for control of the moon. This concept is not new and has been considered from the very dawn of the space age in the 1950's. He who controls the moon has a very advantageous position over other countries. The moon is a source of useful materials independent of the earth. There are minerals and water there. It was recently discovered that he moon has small ice caps. It also exists on other parts of the moon in a form of chemical mud. Water can be used for sustaining a manned lunar base. It can be converted into rocket fuel and also air to breathe by separating the hydrogen and oxygen. It wouldn't surprise me if pretty soon we see a military facility on the moon that can operate at least partly independent of the earth. Weapons can be placed there, such as a directed energy gun or a missile launcher. Such a platform would be very difficult, if not impossible, to defend against. The cost of launching spacecraft has dropped in recent years and private companies have been established as state contractors. The private sector even recently carried out their own independent manned space mission, Inspriation4. In the United States there was even an insane plan in 1958 to detonate a giant hydrogen bomb on the moon, as a show of force to the USSR. As per usual, it turned out the Soviets had their own very similar project. The explosion would have been visible from the earth and big enough to excavate a new crater. I wonder what they would have called it. Source: https://www.afrl.af.mil/Portals/90/Documents/RV/A%20Primer%20on%20Cislunar%20Space_Dist%20A_PA2021-1271.pdf?ver=vs6e0sE4PuJ51QC-15DEfg%3D%3D.
 
Perhaps some kind of outer space treaty is the solution, rather like the one governing Antarctica, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2012/10/moon-landing-sites-protected.html. The matter is complicated by the fact that this new space grab is not just a battle between nations on earth. Like the empire builders of old, human settlers will have to deal with troublesome natives; and unlike the olden days on earth, these natives will have a technological advantage. There is no doubt an extraterrestrial intelligence is taking a keen interest in our activity in space. Many spacecraft, ever since Sputnik, have been harassed by strange objects, for example see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2015/12/will-tim-peake-see-ufo.html and: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2016/11/french-astronaut-ufo-witness-warns-earth.html. They have also interfered directly with our attempts to access the celestial realms, see: https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/worldnews/16468423/ufo-firing-four-beams-light-nuclear-missile-aliens/. These visitors will have the final word on what we humans access away from our home world, unless we are secretly finding ways to counteract them. This is a perilous situation because it could end up in conflict. It must be avoided at all costs, not just for moral reasons, but for practical ones. Any kind of warfare between humans and aliens will be enormously destructive and probably won't end well for the humans. And the ET threat may well be used as a lever of control down here on earth even if it isn't as bad, or doesn't exist. This was why Werner von Braun told Carol Rosin "You vill stop ze veaponization of space!", see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=naUlF5O2ciU. I suspect this situation is far more urgent than it looks because it could be moon bases already exist in secret, see: http://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2021/11/video-from-moon.html.
