Mike:

I'm not certain how an energy transmission from
240,000 miles away can compete with the beam spread
from a location 24,000 miles away. Are we so good
these days we would lose an insignificant amount of
energy from that lunar transmission site? Wow! We've
really learned a lot in only 30 years.

Sarcasm aside, I know the lunar idea has some serious
political power and it is probably an easier sell to
the purse string holders, but it is none the less
based on fear of falling,,,,at least, that's how I
percieve it. The idea of working in free fall may be
so counter intuitive to most people that they
instinctively grab on to the idea of having land to
stand upon.
"Must,,,have,,,ground,,,beneath feet,,,"
Well, evolution will eventually select for those
immune to such fear, but not until we're out
there,,,so go for the gusto. At least once we're
present on the lunar regolith, we're 90% there.
