Of course the moon is not ever in total darkness, but it is in total EARTHNESS light, none of the radiation from Earth ever gets to the back side since it is tidally locked.

How many more days will it take before you admit you were wrong?

Why do you come to the Science forum to kick people around?

Tired of slapping people around in the General Forum?

Perhaps a forum holiday is in order.

And my comment was in no way "inappropriate". You HAVE been chasing my skirt since forever. I can barely post in any forum anymore without you popping in to growl at me, just because I slapped your ass a month earlier.

And before you call THAT "inappropriate", just grow up.

You’re the one accusing me of “chasing your skirt”.

For a feminist it’s interesting to see you resorting you trying to use your femininity in such a cheap tawdry way Suzianne.

How Republican of you.

Blaming the victim. Tsk, tsk.

Oh…you’re a “victim” again today are you?

I would have thought a tough feminist such as yourself wouldn’t need to stop to using her femininity to try to score cheap points on the internet.

So, now a woman who (and I quote yourself) "slapped [ his ] ass", is a victim, not a sexual abuser?

You do show your true nature quite badly here.

We may be 8 billion years away from the great rise of civilizations to galactic space and beyond. Politics of that may have stabilized all over the Universe in less than 1 billion years, which is really huge, Earth civilization grew exponentially in 10k years. We must be in a protected reserved area of the galaxy.

Beyond the heliopause radiation is even more dangerous than within it.

https://www.livescience.com/voyager-2-detects-heliopause-plasma-shield.html

How would ETs protect themselves from that intense radiation? How would we if we wanted to leave our solar system? Lead? An artificial magnetic field around a space ship coated with lead? An asteroid hollowed out coated with lead with an artificial magnetic field? How much trouble would it be?

Somebody must have ideas on it. Right?

We ARE in a 'protected' area of the galaxy, if we were near the center we on Earth would be bombarded by massive radiation coming from very close stars, it is pretty crowded near the center, not touching but enough of them around to make life difficult to evolve at least our form of life. There is life here partly BECAUSE we are in the slow lanes of the galaxy, some 30,000 light years from the center.
Of course that is not a guarantee we can't get zapped, if a star goes supernova within a couple hundred light years we would get zapped anyway, it seems to have happened before, they traced one mass extinction to such an event.
