Geocache Description:

Musings of a lunar Gardener

 

GQT – Wednesday

 

I was working in the lab a late one night when my eyes.....    No, no it was the potting shed.

At some times of the year the gardening business  is a bit slow and i was browsing through some old comics i found in a cardboard box stuffed away in the ressesses of my shed.

Here was Dick Tracey and Fireball XL5

I started to contemplate - I could open a gardening business on the moon

I have worked out how to get up there hitching a lift on the next interplantery exploration rocket.

I can fill the old peugot with all the gear required and then bobs your uncle

Was just thinking of how I could get back and what modifications I might need to get done to the car.

There are some booster rockets on sale at Homebase.

I know the moon is roughly spherical with a diameter of 3474km. It has a mass of roughly 7.4x10 to the power of 22 Kg.

 

The Gravitational constant is 6.67x10 to the power of -11 m3 kg-1 s-2

How fast does my Peugot need to go to escape the clutches of the moons gravity ?

speed - Km/h = JKLM

whoooah - thats fast !

think i have to abandon the idea until i get a bigger car !

 

Enough on to the cache !!
