[Space Bites+] Moon Infrastructure // End of Breakthrough Starshot // Moon Lava Tube Robots

Question: Are satellite collisions a real concern? Aren’t polar satellites crossing paths with equatorial satellites? Do they coordinate orbits amongst them all or just hope space is vast enough and satellites small enough they don’t collide?

Scientific American is behind a paywall sadly.

Question: There's always talk about how humans have to be shielded from radiation in Space, on the Moon, on Mars. Would it be possible to use this radiation as a source of energy? Visible light radiation/solar panels have the issue of getting covered by dust, but are there options to get something useful out of other forms of radiation?

Question: Hi Fraser, this one is a physics modelling channel i just found, very cool.Is 117K subscribed small enough? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zu41rrc_Ng *Simulating Jupiter's comet shield* | braintruffle

in 1977 I was an astronomy graduate at Umass Amherst and my dad was an engineer for the radio astronomers (Joe Taylor and Russel Hulse) It was pretty exciting when they found that binary pulsar system. Verified the physics of the gravity waves to many decimal places.....

Hey Fraser, thank you for your podcast, it's very informative. Does Moon regolith contain all the raw materials to manufacture a telescope? If so, would it be feasible (financially, practically) to build a huge telescope on the moon and launch it to a Lagrange point?
