You could have at least suggest a few of my topics, as I'm just as
"looney toon" as the next guy, except that I'm usually right but
haven't the dog-wagging spin and much needed brown-nosed polish in
order to NOVA informercial promote myself to the top of the pile.

As for another "looney toon" example, whereas usual since I'm one of
the usenet village idiots that's never quite sure about many such
things; such as, should this one become another usenet topic or
sub-topic?

KODAK's PHOTOCHROMATIC/AI FILM TO THE BLOODY RESCUE of NASA's SORRY
BUTT

For mere starters, the Kodak grey card offers a neutral albedo of
0.18(18%), which is somewhat similar to that of new PVC gray pipe (mid
tone as illuminated by the atmospherically filtered sunlight and
subsequently perceived by the human eye). A lunar form of 12% albedo as
a gray-scale tone is getting more into a mid-charcoal or deep slate
gray.

Photographic examples of albedo as based upon various real world
cement/concrete composites, each image having the 18% gray background
as color and albedo reference.

Because I'm such a nice guy, I've often used the earthshine albedo/flux
as being a conservative 50 fold that of moonshine. However, the full
Earth along with a typical amount of cloud cover being worth nearly aan
lbedo of 38% can actually represent a bit more like 80 times better off
than moonshine upon the surface of Earth. Thus 80+lux or lumena or
perhaps roughly 8.5 w/m2 and, each watt/m2 (depending upon spectrum or
frequency) can contribute 3.8e18 photons/s, thus portions of nighttime
upon our moon is getting quite nicely illuminated by earthshine.
Earthshine is also somewhat of a bluish tint and thus offers by fare
the most sensitivity as to being photo recorded upon film that's
extremely extra sensitive to the blue and near-blue spectrum, that
which the human eye isn't all that sensitive to, thus all such
photographics should have been impacted by their being a fairly
noticeable degree of a bluish shift or tint, and/or at the very least
the as-is blue of any American flag should have been a fluorescent
(extra bright illuminating) glowing amount of blue.

Terrestrial surface UV-a contributes 0.6 to 1.5 mw/cm2 (6 w/m2 to 15
w/m2) as having been extensively filtered/moderated by our atmosphere,
however much less of the UV-b get through and almost none of the UV-c
passing through the atmospheric gauntlet that's keeing us alive by
doing such a good job of being our radiation shield that's worth
roughly 10t/m2, but even that's worth a whole lot mot than any
artificial methods such a water that's a thousand fold more dense and
thus a whole lot more secondary/recoil capable of generating those
nasty hard-X-rays.

A bright-white moonsuit offers an albedo of 80%, although with extra
brighteners (retroreflective additives or micro prism like chemical
elements) can push most any super-white moonsuit to better than 85%. An
ultra white photo reflectance board is officially worth 0.9(90%)
albedo. Truly retroreflective elements of a micro corner cube like
coating of such additives can exceed 0.95(95%) albedo, and from that
point on it'll take polished aluminum in order to exceed the 0.95 mark.
Thus it's reasonably safe to conclude of moonsuits and a good number of
white painted items of those Apollo missions can and should be utilized
as the albedo reference bench mark, that plus those official
photographic gray-scale strips that were actually incorporated within
certain images is obviously offering us yet another observational
validation as to how gosh darn reflective the average lunar landscape
of 55+% for as far as the unfiltered Kodak eye could see was the case,
with certain areas or patches as having clearly exceeded 65% (a few
even seem nearly a glaring 75%) as compared to a given moonsuit plus
other artificial items that we know of for certain were of 80% albedo,
and also because supposedly there's insufficient atmosphere as for
moderating the illumination intensity and/or having color/spectrum
shifting affect upon whatever was included in each of the frames.

However, without an atmosphere and taking on the the raw solar UV
influx of 118 w/m2 that simply had to have been reacting with
everything in sight, plus fairly darn good chances of some of that UV
energy creating the near-blue photons of exactly what the
secondary/recoil photons should have been creating is somewhat of a
mystery, since in none of the images was there any hint of a bluish
color skew or that of any black-light generated near-blue, not even
fringing of blue or under any direct lighting, shadow or shadow-fill
(thus secondary) illumination offered us an example of what the raw
solar influx should have provided, especially as being photo recorded
without and color spectrum blocking filters or even that of an optical
sharp UV cut-off filter, yet the Kodak film somehow managed to exclude
all of the UV-a, extra solar near-blue, secondary near-blue and even
the bluish earthshine had a zero affect upon what had been recorded. In
other words, apparently Kodak had invented their first full-spectrum
photochromatic/AI film and ever since having lost that formula.

OK folks, someone walked upon a nearly colorless/monotone moon that
simply wasn't our moon, thus we're even better at this space-race game
and of all the required talents and expertise than anyone ever thought
possible, so damn good that we even tossed out all of the fly-by-rocket
R&D and every one of the working prototypes. Apparently the moon we'd
walked upon had a Xenon spectrum illuminating sun, that of an Earth
like planet that was either a bit smaller and/or much further away and
at times even having been situated a bit near the horizon, that plus
there was no such nearby Venus or the likes of any extremely Kodak
bluish-white bright Sirius star system. On this other moon there wasn't
but at most a couple of inches of highly clumping moon-dirt that
offered nearly 100 g/cm2 worth of easily compacted surface-tension, and
lo and behold, it wasn't even the least bit electrostatic nor even all
that dark because, the nearby sun had little if any iron or carbon to
spare. To top all of that off is that the moon had an invisible
atmosphere that nicely protected astronauts from being physically
nailed or even the least bit TBI impacted, whereas this was
accomplished in part because the density of that moon wasn't the least
bit reactive because it must have been made of anti-matter, clumping
anti-matter none the less.

Silly me, as here I'd though we'd been snookered, when in fact these
NASA/Apollo guys are freaking wizards that are beyond any known realms
of the ordinary laws of physics. I guuess you don't need any stinking
remorse if you're damn near a God like our resident warlord(GW Bush).
