Alien Base on the Dark Side of the Moon

My guess would be the Van Allen belt. I kinda like watching the station flybys. The first time I seen it I waved.

What about the Van Allen belt? *wikid got lost*

the dust is like glass shards very destructive harsh environment and the radioactivity levels are off the chart outside the earths polar fields

There's radio activity on the moon? Or just in space?

*wikid really needs to study up on this shit*

The sun and other stars are shooting radiation.

So it's better to be free floating than attached to the moon?

 

[mexiblunt]

So do I. That's why it was a guess.

The shields were the balls on top of those poles right? I always thought they'd be giant domes....

free floating inside low earth orbit ,protects you somewhat by the magnetic fields

There's an alien base in the van allen belt?

Where IS the Van Allen Belt?

The moon is REALLY far away. The space station is a short jaunt. Refueling / maintenance / crew swap missions would not be practical or safe on the moon.

So do you think there's an alien base on the moon and we're going to piss off the aliens when we "bomb" the moon?

NO!

If they were on the moon they wouldn't be dumb enough to put their base on the side that takes direct strikes from all sorts of debris.

LOL, now THAT makes sense...unless they have laser guns that can blast debris to smithereens!

They would be smart enough to get the news report and pack up and wait it out in space.

How do we know they don't?

All around the earth. The shuttle went thru a "thicker" than usual part and the astronauts could see the radiation with their eyes closed.

I don't think the aliens will be anymore pissed than they already are.

We have a belt? I was watching something on the discovery channel, talking about how all of the planets actually have rings of debris or whatever circling them....but the only planet you learn about in school having rings is Saturn! WTF?

School! Being only 31 yrs old I often wonder when/if I will get my trip to the moon?
