Abstract
1) Environmental factors on surface of earth and moon are very different: almost no atmosphere, no barometric pressure, no oxygen, neither water nor moisture, perhaps CO, CO2, and H2SO4 (volcanic). Surface temperature changing from 390 to -160°C, radiation much more intensive than on earth (unfiltered) und surpassing limits of earth's spectrum on both sides.
2) Many vitally important functions will be impaired: respiration, metabolism, blood circulation, absence of all accoustic influences (deaf-muteness), all movements are very excessive, uncontrollable, atactic. Danger of massive respiratory and intestinal haemorrhages.
3) Residence (entering and landing) of unprotected men on moon will be fatal. The following preliminary investigations are indispensable:
a) Climatic-chamber tests with all sorts of living beings, subjecting them to conditions equal or similar to those on moon so as to state maxima and minima of man's tolerance.
b) Collecting data and samples from moon's surface to be examined in our laboratories.
c) Placing several kinds of mammals on moon-surface, observing them living and, perhaps, dying (necropsy).
d) First landing of man: to be equipped with
aa) flexible rubber-tubing for air, water, and food from the flying machine
bb) diving-bell suit with all its accessories.
Both these experiments dangerous. Hard manual labour impossible, therefore no agriculture and mining.
