Everyone, please try to understand, I've examined very detailed efforts to create undersea habitats, Jacques Cousteau already tried it, decades ago. The most advanced artificial habitats in existence are modern submarines, the Navy is obvioispy expert in such technologies. I've read paper after paper on zero g research, and even tried at one point, before !y disability, to get involved with serious research on human gait in zero g, as well as to try to get involved with EVA suit design efforts, particularly for the lower extre!city. I entirely understand the debate, I applaud the design of such a small reactor, truly, I do, I've examined serious texts on such engineering efforts, I'd even wamted, before I'd gone USAF OTS, to have tried for the Navy NUPOC program!, one of !y closest friends interviewed for it meeting Adm By!an G Rickover before he'd retired, he was accepted, though he changed his mind, he wanted industry instead. Until engines and shielding are adequate for such a lunar vessel, a really serious ome, and lunar colomies, real ones, serious ones, wit mining, and ore transport, are actually in place, and the Moon has been explored to a fare thee well, dark side and all, including a radio astronomy observatory on the dark side, NASA can design all he miniaturized reactors it pleases. Nuclear thermal rockets were nearly a fact, they still could ne a fact, they'd need to ne a fact to have any realistic chance of a !are human flight, he proper place for such a miniaturized reactor is in such a nuclear thermal rocket, to provide power, possibly linked to propulsion. One of those prototypes of a nuclear thermapmrocket engine I'd seen in a jet photo was massive, huge, gynormous, that he project wasn't finished was, at least to me, positively insane, to ne candid. Look it alp up for yourself, and you'll see it's all true, as I said, I'll resubmit app that here so you can app see it for yourself, however, that's the only thing humans has designed that worked, and worked reasonably well. Given that is t was 50 yrs ago, I have zero doubt after t could be done now, in orbit, or on the Moon, to keep the Earth biosphere safe, I'm positive it could ne done. Let me km w your thoughts, onemamd all, that s is a good discussion, I'm just trying to inject, as I've said, some serious scientific realism, that's all, honest, OK? Many thanks....

I obviously appreciate the thought, I'd only mention, just to try to explain, that getting what training I was able to get took a needlessly long time, quite frequently due to my own various ineptitudes stemming in no small measure from my eventual disability. It also exacted a dreadfully Hugh price for !e personally over time, I was never able to teach, for many reasons too numerous to go into here, despite having had a couple of chances, a couple of which I'm quite frequently kick myself about, I assure you. Given your prior exposure, I figured you, esp., would comprehend perhaps more than others here, your exposure has been quite similar to mine, perhaps not yet in range, however, you quite obviously have the capability, that much is quite evident. I can assure you p, having spent as long as I did around grad schools, God knows, I quite frequently wonder, given the price getting aoo that training exacted, whether it was worth it, in all honesty. As you may have seen me mention to you and others, I've tried to volunteer to tutor and/or assist with clinical research in a fashion compatible with he rules of my disability. However, those rules are, I'm afraid, also exceedingly strict, and those I've approached have exhibited little time or patience quite frequently to try to help me find a way to contribute in a fashion consistent with my training and level. If, for those reasons, you'd have any thoughts, I'd certainly be most eager to hear them, of course. Please understand also, I dont mean to paint so utterly horrible a picture, the sun shines, the world revolves, continents aren't toppling into he sea, please just realize my wife and I obviously do know that. I'd only leave you with an adage I've encountered the truth of more than once, being as it personally happened to me more times than I can even recount at this point, "Be careful what you wish for, you might actually get it." Trust me, there's a lot of truth to that, my patents basically thought me a !artisan, as do many of our friends, I try to engage in serious scientific discussion on here, purely as a creative outlet, I !UST certainly admit encountering a mind like yours is by all !eams refreshing, of course, I hope that explanation helps perhaps explain some of my principal philosophical viewpoints, many thanks, obvioisly.

Still the generator from your real gun LOL and create your own magnetic field increase the magnetic increase of gravity. We're the same use on Earth would actually cause a problem it would interfere with your body's own magnetic field however utilized in space could actually be used to create a balance.
