Here’s how it works.
Most Planets have a porous crust, in earth’s case, many miles thick.
Some planets have liquids of various sorts, both on the surface, and seeped down into any porous crust the planet may have.
A moon such as the one used here at earth is designed to draw liquids out of a planet’s porous crust and onto the surface of the planet.
This allows mining and other activity to take place within the previously liquid-locked caverns of the porous crust of the planet that the moon orbits.
These caverns can be air-locked, and atmospheres adjusted to fit the needs of the occupants. Energy fields can be placed at openings on land preventing mixture with the planet’s common atmosphere.
The caverns and airlocked voids are then connected with tunneling, creating vast underground networks.
The primary cosmic mining substance here on earth is salt. Only certain kinds of planets produce salt. The earth has salt. And coal.
The Moon is hollow with an opening in the back. Beings live there. They are miners. They have been shipping and receiving from inside, through the opening, which is a pain in the ass. They are moving shipping and receiving to the neutral atmosphere surface, now that the solar system is out of the Kali.
There are mining contracts. Earth has a bank account.
We are also a resort planet. Now that we’re out of the Kali, traffic will pick up. We’ll need to learn to be good cosmic hosts.
It also occurred to me while writing this, Neptune is made up of frozen water, methane and ammonia, which sounds like a sewer on ice. Isn’t that strange?….
They say it's core is solid. Perhaps it’s a shit magnet ? ….
….. naw …. surely not… but…. a biological planet is the only kind of planet that can “digest” biological waste, and only at the level of its own generation of it …..so…..
What do they do with their poop? … Now I simply must look up Uranus….
What a great radio bit this would make! right?
Reminds me of when I had to use the Latin pronunciation of Uranus - Oo-rah-noos - at the CCR station where I volunteered…. made it even funnier…
Looked up Uranus, same as Neptune. Are they solar system sewers? Incinerators? Exactly as they are described?
Imagine the Starship Enterprise looking for a place to empty it’s tank, like an RV…
Play some star trek drops here…
Use the Drop from NL Christmas Vacation where Eddy says “shitter’s full”.
Scotty - “don’t you want to rephrase that”
Now I’m making prep notes…. sorry….
… anyway… that’s the deal with the moon…
