...crew in 1972. To determine how heavy the ilmenite concentrations are at that site and to look for other outcroppings as well, NASA recently decided to conduct telescope surveys of four lunar regions: Taurus-Littrow, Hadley-Apennine-landing site of Apollo 15-the unexplored Aristarchus impact crater and nearby Schroter?s Valley. Though ground-based telescopes would ordinarily be suitable for this work, in this case they wouldn?t do, since the scientists were looking for ultraviolet reflections of ilmenite, a frequency of light absorbed by Earth?s atmosphere. The only way to conduct the work was to get above...
...telescope found what appears to be ilmenite deposits not only at the Apollo 17 site, where it was known to be, but also in Schroter?s Valley and in especially high concentrations in Aristarchus crater. Aristarchus would make an especially good landing site for future geologists, because the impacts that create craters blasts away surface material, providing a detailed look far below ground. Combine that with the ready lode of oxygen-rich ilmenite, and you?ve got a prime spot for a future moon base...
...casing what "improvements" we can ethically tolerate. This will eventually create a snowball effect, and we will find ourselves in a genetic twilight zone. The only way really to fix what we have done will be to continue fixing our genes. Here's hoping for wiser, not smarter. KELLY SCHROTER Middletown...
