I read it as being cheaper to get experiments there (1kg to LEO is cheaper than 1kg to soft land on the moon)

- mrtksn 8y agoIf that's the correct meaning, then O.K. My bad.
- cookingrobot 8y agoYes, exactly what I meant. It seems a lot easier to get an experiment into orbit than onto the moon. If you connect two halves of the satellite with a long tether, you could reduce the coriolis effects, if that's really an issue.
