Chorlton, thanks for your response. You say do not be fooled they ARE mining cheese on the Moon. You missed spelled cheese it is spelled helium 3.
I forgot to tell you about plan B on the Moon if I should die by taking off my helmet of which I dought very much, but as a backup if there is not sufficient oxygen to breath. There is always the soul collector as my plan B, so my soul would not have to travel very far to be captured and prepared for recycle. Rik Riley

There is NO mining at present taking place on the moon, not is there any permanent base on the moon at present.
Mars Rovers Caught in Severe Dust Storm
07.20.2007
July 20, 2007: Having explored Mars for three-and-a-half years in what were missions originally designed for three months, NASA's Mars rovers Spirit and Opportunity are facing perhaps their biggest challenge.
For nearly a month, a series of severe Martian summer dust storms has affected the rover Opportunity and, to a lesser extent, its twin, Spirit. The dust in the Martian atmosphere over Opportunity has blocked 99 percent of direct sunlight to the rover, leaving only the limited diffuse sky light to power it. Scientists fear the storms might continue for several days, if not weeks. "We're rooting for our rovers to survive these storms, but they were never designed for conditions this intense," says Alan Stern, associate administrator of NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington.

zorgon,
Actually, what's happening is that Martian Dust devils come by and suck the dust off of the rovers after the storm is over. I'm sure that you've seen the captures of the dust devils right in front of the rover, but here's one for posterity..

Please qualify this ridiculous statement on your part with proof to back it up or restate it that this is merely your opinion...
Practice what you preach. It works both ways

No sir. Common logic and present scientific knowledge would back up what I said.
Show me an official NASA statement that states there is presently a mining operation on the moon.
OR show me a statement from an alien rece to the same effect.
There is no mining at present taking place on the moon,
but at present there is no known Earth mining base on the moon.

Only problem with that is in THIS thread we are challenging "common" knowledge as being incorrect at the least, and a cover up at the worst. ATS is all about exploring conspiracies and way out theories. You say our search is pointless. I and many others here would disagree, and meetings I had this past few days have confirmed to me that we are on the right track but that "..we only have the tip of the cats tail" so far
.
Show me an official NASA statement that states there is presently a mining operation on the moon.
No, for two reasons;
1) because you have already stated you won't read my documents anyway because they are irrelevent...
.
2) because I don't have any published by NASA. The ones I have have different agencies on the letterhead... I have a problem using NASA as my source, especially when a letter to a NASA historian requesting a document comes back stating they don't have it and refer me to a Russian based website that has a good summary
But for the rest of out cult members in the thread, I will be releasing them shortly... 4 volumes, thousands of pages, as soon as I get a copy of volume 2 so you will have to be patient.
OR show me a statement from an alien rece to the same effect.
I have it on good authority that the aliens around here only communicate via telepathy, so I am sure they won't be giving you a statement.
There is no mining at present taking place on the moon,
In your opinion... which you have nothing other than "common" knowledge to back you up...
.
but at present there is no known Earth mining base on the moon.
AH! Well Hoagland also believes that the Mine on the Moon is not ours... but we are mining ancient tech left behind... so at least your halfway there. Oh BTW you just contradicted yourself again
But you can repeat this a thousand times, it won't deter us from seeking the answers and presenting the evidence to those with an open mind...
.
You know... the Nevada Desert is a really interesting place... you never know what you stumble upon out there near those "special" areas...
Found this just lying around a few days ago... just over the mountain from John's house... Look familiar to anyone?

If you consider that spiffy clean I hope your not the responsible for the cleaning of your "castle".

I know that I shouldn't be answering to an off-topic post, but as apparently some people are allowed to do them, maybe I can get away with it.

Well it's nice to know at least someones looked at my post of Lomonsov crater,
The thing is this pic was from a European Space Agency satellite called Smart-1, so not NASA, if this was airbrushed than ESA are pulling the same tricks as NASA.
The other odd thing is they either purposly allowed the satellite to crash or proactively crashed it.
What's the point of that why not just let it orbit and keep taking pictures, unless of course there was something it would photograph that would be difficult to cover up.

I don't quite understand this either, after the satellite has crashed how are you going to study it.
A spaceship swoops in from the void, a laser beam lancing out from its hull. It probes the planet's clouds while, back on the craft's home world, scientists wait to see what happens. Sounds like science fiction? This is real, and it's happening today. The spacecraft is NASA's Messenger, and the planet is Venus.
The Genesis mission returned to Earth on September 8, 2004 after a nearly flawless three-year mission to collect solar matter. The intent was to deploy a drogue chute and parafoil high over the Utah desert and to catch the fragile payload capsule in mid-air by helicopter. The capsule would then be opened in a cleanroom constructed for that purpose at UTTR, and a nitrogen purge was to be installed before transporting the science canister to JSC. Unfortunately, both chutes failed to deploy, causing the capsule to fall to the desert floor at a speed of nearly 200 MPH. Still, Genesis represents a milestone in the US space program, comprising the first sample return since the Apollo Missions as well as the first return of materials exposed to the space environment outside of low Earth orbit and beyond the Earth’s magnetosphere for an extended period.
NASA disagrees with the protesters. The recent accident is "no reflection on safety," Richard J. Spehalski, Cassini's program manager, told reporters on Wednesday. "It does not represent anything that could compromise" mission safety.
Officials of NASA and of the Energy Department, which makes the plutonium batteries, also said no possible Cassini accident could pose significant risks to the public. Big fears are unfounded, they insist.
"Our safety analysis report is two feet thick," said Beverly A. Cook, program director for radioisotope power systems at the Energy Department. "It's been thoroughly reviewed. There's absolutely no accident sequence that results in huge amounts of plutonium being released. People have misunderstood the risk. They've been presented numbers that have no basis in fact."
It (Galileo) found water on the moon Europa, which has a global ocean under a thick layer of ice. Because this moon has a good chance of harboring some primitive life forms, NASA planned the controlled crashing of Galileo into the atmosphere of Jupiter. NASA does not want it to accidentally crash into Europa. Why is such a controlled crash necessary? 48 lbs of Plutonium...
Why? Earth is responsible. The gravity of massive Earth only 240,000 miles (400,000 km) from the Moon constantly tugs on lunar satellites. For a lunar orbit higher than 750 miles, Earth's pull is actually strong enough to whisk a spacecraft out of the game...
Low-orbiting satellites have problems, too. Lunar "mascons" tug on them and cause them to crash into the ground. Earth affects high orbits, mascons affect low orbits
A Russian astrologist who says NASA has altered her horoscope by crashing a spacecraft into a comet is suing the US space agency for damages of $US300 million.
NASA deliberately crashed its probe into the Tempel 1 comet to unleash a spray of material formed billions of years ago, which scientists hope will shed new light on the composition of the solar system.
"It is obvious that elements of the comet's orbit, and correspondingly the ephemeris, will change after the explosion, which interferes with my astrology work and distorts my horoscope," Izvestia daily quoted astrologist Marina Bai as saying in legal documents submitted before the collision.
"We have representatives at almost every major observatory in the world," said Deep Impact principal scientist Michael A'Hearn, of the University of Maryland, during today's briefing...
After the initial separation, a fault alarm went off on board Deep Impact's Flyby vehicle. Mission controllers ran through a systems check and concluded the spacecraft was on track and the alarm could be ignored...
