Instead of spending countless taxpayers' dollars on a space program that essentially lines the pockets of the super rich by extending super technology to them, I say spend them so we can actually enjoy them by setting up a giant kaleidoscope on the moon. Three impossibly long (and tall) mirrors set
at 30 degree angles will give us a view of a six point star reflecting a fractured earth. As the Earth moves, the kaleidoscope changes, reflecting the weather patterns, rotation, seasons changing, or even a big black hole of outer space. A real life view of Earth, manipulated by man, to unify us in obvious folly. And hey- maybe the scientists could even figure out a way to use it.

It sounds like it would be nice to look at, but not at the expense of the moon. |

I still find it interesting. |
|

wouldn't a kaleidoscopic telescope be easier? |

Only if you were on the moon to use it. |

I used the term "impossibly" in a romantic sense- as in "ever-so", not a scientific one. And as for a kaleidoscopic telescope- as we are situated here on Earth, a kaleidoscopic telescope would reflect outward, not creating the introspective result I was hoping for- I want something that we can all enjoy worldwide, and for free. |

Good churn, [xandram]; I will have to spend some time
picturing it in my head. |

That’s why I was intrigued…trying to imagine it. |
