Re: Mooning Around
Rick suggests that a geosynch sps would be in shadow half the time.
where do you get this from?  If in shadow at all, it would
only be for a limited time due to bad design.
also, projecting to a station in lunar 'geo'synch orbit is a little silly,
if you think about what the distance of this orbit is.
(Hint: name an object that stays fixed in the lunar sky)
